Third Chemo

Had my third Chemo treatment yesterday.  My appt was at 11 AM.  This time I went by myself. I gained another 3 and a half pounds!!!!! (Total of 8 and a half pounds)
 They gave me benedryl upfront this time due to the reactions I have been having.  It made me sleepy but I drank some coffee and didn't fall asleep.  Overall the treatment went well.  I also had a check up with the dr.  Well he was running behind so I met with a nurse practitoner.  She was just asking how things were going.  I told her that I was doing pretty well. I did mention that I was having a lot of trouble sleeping.  So she prescribed me Melatonin.  That is pretty much it for the appt.

Everytime I go for treatment I see some of the same people.  This time one of the couples I see ended up sitting next to me.  (Their usual seats were gone. They were off being cleaned)   The husband is sick and the wife brings him to the treatments.  She was the one sitting next to me.  We ended up talking about a bunch of random things and he was sleeping.  I asked what kind of cancer he had she said it was cancer of the esophagus.  She said this is the third time it has come back.  He has had surgery and radiation as well as chemo and nothing seems to be working.  I told her I was so sorry to hear that.  I didn't know what to say.  It very depressing when you have no more hope.  It just makes to you appreciate life and makes me want to live my life to the fullest. 

Check back each day this week for updates.
