Chemo 2.11

Dichotomy.

The great thing about having gone to chemo so many times at this point is that there are no surprises. We know what to expect and there is very little anxiety or worry involved.

The crappy thing is that it has all become so routine that we sleepwalk through it. Less nervous energy. Less joking around. Yesterday Michele slept through most of her treatment and I read. I guess after everything that has happened over the last year we should be happy for a little bit of boring.

Pretty standard chemo day. Wait, wait, wait. Drugs, lunch, drugs, drugs. The clinic was a little slow, probably due to the holiday coming up, so it was pretty quiet. The only excitement started when someone brought in homemade banana pudding... the place went nuts. Michele had some and enjoyed it

Other than that, same old process. We had a nurse that we haven't had before (I think we might have run through the whole staff at this point) and she was great. We cruised through it pretty quick and headed home to play with Alex.

Next week we meet with the surgeon on Thursday and then have an Oncologist appointment and the last full-blown chemo on Friday. Michele is ready to both figure out the surgery schedule and be done with chemo so it is a big week.

Rock 'n roll!
