The nauseousness has finally subsided, but the fatigue is ever present. Yesterday and today Larry has been feeling jittery, restless, anxious, etc. We're pretty sure it's from steroids that were prescribed for the nausea. The last pill was taken this morning, so we are hoping that the restlessness is gone by morning. Larry's appetite has not returned yet - he's been trying different things, but nothing tastes good. This is a temporary side effect of the chemo. The other annoying side effect is a hyper-sensitivity to smells.
We have good news to share - as of 4pm today, Larry is taking only one medication and it is something he was taking before this mess started. Woohoo - good job, Larry!
We're in the home stretch now - only three more days and Larry will be celebrating the end of treatment. We are both looking forward to Friday at 2:30. We should be on the way home shortly after. Even though Larry will be done with treatment this week, he will need to come back for regular check-ups. We don't know the schedule yet.

Sounds like things going very well :)
