I think it's safe to say we haven't had the best luck lately! However, today we caught a bit of a break, or at least we think it is considering the past 12 weeks of our lives. We were up all night because Tom was in an incredible amount of pain in his lower back area - he couldn't get comfortable, the medicines weren't helping and he was only able to doze in and out a bit. Knowing what I know, and what I've been told to look for, my mind immediately went to kidneys and I assumed it would just be a matter of time before we were heading back to the hospital. I called the oncologist and talked to them and they told us we were okay! The aches/pains he was experiencing is a common side effect with the booster shot he gets the day after chemo so we were in the clear. For the record - that is the first time we've had an "issue" that hasn't resulted in us being back at the hospital. Woo hoo! Okay, in all reality it's about as exciting as finding out Kohl's is having a sale, but we'll take it.
Needless to say, a sleepless night is setting us back a bit in regards to exhaustion but I'm just happy he is okay and thankful for heating pads! We are off to catch up on some sleep, but more to come...
