Well, he's feeling pretty good. Friday was a bit of a problem - he described it as feeling like he had a bad hangover - terrible headache, dizzy, fuzzy, achy (of course I couldn't relate to that feeling, right?) so he didn't go to work. Saturday was much better and since its inventory time he didn't have to go in until 2 PM, so that gave him even more time to recoup and get back to normal.
Sunday is his day off, so back to regular hours yesterday. Inventory continues today, so he was out the door before 5 AM and plans on going fishing on his boat with a couple of his buddies this afternoon since he'll be getting off early.
I've noticed that he's not coughing. Before he started the chemo he had been coughing, the kind that sounds as if there's some congestion and it had been getting more and more frequent. I was getting nervous every time he coughed. The coughing started to subside several days after the first chemo treatment. He coughed less and less frequently each day since and I haven't heard him cough at all the past couple of days. Could this possibly be a good sign?
I asked him if the doctors had told him how far into the chemo they might be able to detect a change in the lesions in his lungs. He said that they told him it could be as early as after the first round, but certainly after the second. If his cough was in any way connected to the cancer then it may be that the chemo is doing its job. I sure hope that's what's happening.
The CT scan is scheduled for Sept 17th, the week after he's completed the second full course of treatments. That's when we'll hopefully be getting some good news.
