Home still feels wonderful :) We are still catching back up but are so happy to be home. We were back at the hospital bright and early for Tom’s booster shot which will hopefully help make him bounce back faster. It’s unbelievable how walloped he gets and the impact it has on his body these few days post chemo. He will breathe hard if he walks up from the basement, or get fatigued if he stands for brief periods of time. However, the greatest part this week is knowing this is the last time he will have to feel this! It makes a world of difference to know that this is the last time we will have to deal with chemo symptoms, managing post chemo drugs, and that we won’t have to start to mentally prepare for chemo again. Amazing. For the most part, he is feeling pretty crappy which we expected. This round has been especially challenging because he is really feeling the impact of the compound effects, but like every other round he's got his eye on the prize and is being so strong.
I’m simply exhausted. A different type of exhausted from Tom, but exhausted nonetheless - it feels like the last 13 weeks all hit me at once today (which almost resulted in a meltdown at the grocery store this evening) so I’m going to keep tonight short and try to catch up on some much needed sleep :) More to come…
