Bryan's fourth chemo treatment was yesterday - things went very smoothly again, and some adjustments to his anti-nausea medications afforded him a more comfortable evening than last cycle. The solution to the nausea problem is essentially to knock him out for hours at a time - but a sleeping Bryan is better than a nauseous one. We're crossing our fingers that we now have a successful strategy for managing the side effects.
The last two weeks of the past cycle were great, we ran almost every day, and for significantly longer than last cycle. Bryan was able to do more things socially and spend more time at the office, and that normalcy has been very beneficial. Although he didn't look forward to getting knocked down again, knowing he'll be back to some of his usual activities soon is helping his mental outlook during the tough days.
