Post chemo doctor visit

Jeff had a post chemo doctor visit on Tuesday (I know, I'm being horrible at keeping everyone up to date. I'm sorry.)

 

For this visit, we have to arrive an hour early, he has blood drawn and then we wait while they do the  blood work. Doctor's apt is scheduled for 1 hour after blood draw is scheduled. The blood work all came back ok.

 

When the doctor looked at Jeff he was really suprised. He said he could tell just by looking at him that the chemo was working already. The nodes in his neck are not as visible as they were before! When he felt them, he was even more impressed by what he did and did not feel. He was very impressed by the progress already and said that while he expected good results, he honestly did not expect them this early.  He was pleased Jeff only had minor stomach discomfort and was glad he was taking the one med for that.

 

Saturday and Sunday were probably the roughest days for Jeff. He said he just didn't feel right and felt crappy. Once he had a few of the compazine in his system, he started feeling better. He didn't take any after 1pm on Monday and has been fine since. At least as far as that.

 

Jeff was somewhat disappointed there is nothing to help his main complaint. He said he felt "fuzzy" and "cloudy in the head. The doctor reassured him during the apt at noon that it was very normal to feel that way and that he was sure the feeling would soon go away. By Tuesday night it was gone! Jeff has said he feels pretty much normal since that time.

 

Because his blood work is fine and all else seems okay at this point, we don't have to do anything else until he goes back for his next round of chemo on March 7.  This will be the longest time frame without a trip to Titusville or Meadville (mostly Meadville) since we got the diagnosis.  We plan to enjoy it!
