Last Monday Kavan had a half day of chemotherapy. Because he no longer can receive doxyrubicin, his one day chemotherapy cycle, the duration of treatment has been greatly reduced! It's nice that he's not there for quite as long. In addition to the chemotherapy, Kavan also had several tests. He had a chest CT and a heart scan. We haven't yet heard what the results yet, so send your good vibes Kavan's way. With the last few chemotherapy treatments Kavan has felt crappy in the days after. He's been feeling more nauseous and even got sick with the last treatment. I'm not sure if this is kind of a compounding effect of the long chemotherapy or if he is not being quite as diligent with self-care as he was. I think he's so used to feeling good that perhaps he's not quite as good at drinking enough water and eating well. To me, eating well does not fit in the same sentence as McDonald's or Hungry Man. :)
Thursday night we had the opportunity to celebrate my cousin's 30th birthday. Kavan was feeling well enough at the time and we had a fantastic evening. Friday night we again celebrated Darcy's birthday and we had a long-overdue night out!

This week, Kavan is back and busy at work. He's feeling well and has been relatively hospital free! Next week he will have the next appointment with his oncologist to check blood levels prior to the next round of chemotherapy.
Have a nice week!
