It has been an up and down weekend for Dave. After Friday's Chemo, he felt okay until later in the evening and the next morning. He was experiencing fluid retention and some serious nausea, and being that it was Saturday, Kathy had an awful time getting in touch with someone to get a prescription for Lasix. Once she did, he started to feel a little better. Sunday was the first of eight Nupogen injections, which went well. As of this posting he has had two of these injections and so far, no side effects, although I'm told that he does carry a little bucket with him just in case his nausea decides to get eruptive.(giggle-giggle) So, for the most part, he seems to be doing well. He had such a great night last night that Kathy called Phyllis just to tell her how wonderful it was to see him feeling so good. Dave is one of the lucky ones who knows how to 'live' with cancer. He has a strong will, he can appreciate a good feeling (even for just a moment) and, most importantly, he has an angel by his side, who us mortals refer to as Kathy. If not for her determination, patience, and undying love and affection for this guy, his situation would be very different.
Thanks for your Happy Thoughts for Dave and Kathy!
