Tom is feeling rough, as we expected, but managed to eat some food today and that makes a world of difference. With all the medicines he is on having some food in his belly helps so he doesn't get a stomach ache, or worse throw up, since so many of his pills are oral pills and he then loses the effect of the medicine. Its hard for his body to process everything without some food. Add to that the complete exhaustion that comes with these post chemo days and it's not too pleasant for him. As per usual though, he's taken everything with a smile and trying to stay positive. As we were leaving the hospital today our nurses/technicians were all stopping to give us hugs goodbye as we walked down the hall. They were sad to see us go, and all said they are looking forward to our return in a few weeks. I can't say the feeling is mutual about coming back - though I do enjoy their company!
Tomorrow we go in for his post chemo shot bright and early and meet with a surgeon to get an idea of what this surgery will entail. I'm hoping somehow we can incorporate a post-surgery super power into this procedure. More to come...
