Cycle 2, Days 5 - 6


December 2 - 3: Treatment went really well for the last two days of this cycle. There are less patients on Saturday and Sunday so the nurses can get the treatment going sooner. Sunday was a new record at 4 hours and 22 minutes! The self-portrait shown is the IV set-up. He's my walking buddy when I need to use the rest room. They don't allow me to walk up and down the hallway as some of the chemo drugs can be caustic if the bag ruptured. So, I'm confined to the room for the duration. So far, no back pain from sitting for 4 - 5 hours - which is nice.
