On the way to chemo this morning Jon said that he feels better and stronger now than before he started his first chemos last year :) From where I sit, that has appeared to be the case but it's nice to hear confirmation from him.
For the most part chemo was pretty uneventful today. His white counts and platelets were down a little which is somewhat disconcerting since they seemed to hold pretty strong for the first 4-5 chemos with the earlier sessions. We do, however, feel much more informed and well equipped to handle the ups and downs of the blood counts. He starts tonight on Matike mushroom extract for the white count and sesame oil for the platelets. He's just finishing up with acupuncture while I write and we will be heading home to get Kelsey to his guitar lessons.
We were looking at the calendar today and confirmed that Jon's week off from chemo will fall on the Tuesday before Staci and Octavio's wedding (good planning, Stac!)
That should mean Jon will be feeling well and able to enjoy all the wedding festivities!
