Movin' Along

Larry had two weeks of chemo which left him drained, nauseous, and quite miserable.  We both were beginning to wonder if the end goal balanced out the effects of the treatment.  He is down 15 pounds since the last visit; he hasn't been eating like normal.  Might have to go shopping for some skinny pants!  After 13 days, he finally had a good one--still weak, but feeling better.  Yesterday's doctor appointment was to be another treatment, but Larry's platelet count was too low for it.  He is now scheduled for one on Monday.  On May 5th we had scheduled a fishing trip with Jason and the gang (including Scott) to Reelfoot Lake in Tennessee. Doc said to "go for it" and his treatments would be scheduled around the trip.  That's good news because Larry really wanted to go.  Perhaps that will be our "new normal" for awhile...
