Jeff was still feeling a little foggy when we left the doctor last Tuesday. By Wednesday he was feeling better. By the weekend he told me he felt pretty much normal. That was more than we could hope for because the doctor told him to expect about a 5% decrease from feeling his best between each treatment. He said he would probably only get to feeling about 95% before he started his next treatment. Then following that one, probably only about 90% of his normal until he started the next set. I am pleasantly suprised that Jeff is feeling normal.
I'm not sure if I've ever said here or not. Jeff's treatment schedule is every 28 days. He will have 3 days of chemo then 25 days "off" before he starts the cycle again. He will do this for a total of 6 treatments.
His next set of treatments will start on March 7. He will get treatment the 7, 8, and 9 then start the days of no treatment. As long as his blood counts stay high enough and nothing goes wrong, his last treatment will fall the last week in June.
I think the best thing right now is no trips to any doctors for 2.5 weeks. We haven't gone that long since his first surgery on Dec 2 without seeing a doctor of some kind. I could get used to this! Of course, I'm sure one of the kids will get sick so that I have to eat those words, but for now, there is nothing on my calander and I like that!
