Friday Clinic Chemo For Blake

Friday Chemo: Oh, he was not happy about doing chemo understandibly. 2 days in the hospital for chemo and then back for more the next day, not happy.
We went by sonic so he could eat a nice cheeze burger before chemo, they got his burger wrong and I was in the cross fire. Duck!
Because of the chemo his taste and smell has changed. He is very sensitive to food smells and especially the IV fluid smell when they wash down the chemo. He hates that smell.
When we got there they accessed his port and gave him anti-nausia meds first. Then they hooked him up to chemo which lasted about an hour. The whole thing lasted about 2 hours. Just long enough to watch Pirates of the Caribbean, again. He couldn't get the WII to work.
Home health delivered his medication and supplies for his 10 days worth of shots to our house while we were at clinic and Troy had to signed for it. Shots started Saturday night.
This chemo he had makes his blood pressure drop so they had to keep monitoring him every 15 minutes checking his blood pressure and for 15 minutes after finishing it. It was fine though.
So glad the worst of the second round is over. He will have one more dose on Wednsday to finish this round which will make him sleep most the day again.
We are half way through his treatment and he is still hanging tough. I can see it is wearing on him and he is ready to put this all behind him as all of us are.
He is now getting his 10 days of shots, starting last night.
He is no longer afraid of needles. Don't know if that's a good thing or not.
Thanks for reading and keeping up with Blakes Battle and for your prayers, thought and love,Katie, Blake, Troy and Scott
