Day 86
I just have a couple of hours to go before I am finished with this next round of chemo. Overall I have fared well. I have the typical side-effects – rashes, diarrhea (for all you gory detail lovers), nausea. The nausea has been the worst. I actually slept the entire day yesterday because everytime I lifted my headed I felt like I was going to throw up. I woke up this morning and was able to eat some breakfast without taking any medication.
Technically I could go home today but I’ve opted to stay at least one full day after the chemo has finished to see how my fevers are doing and how I am feeling. I may go home this weekend.
I took some nausea medication that makes me completely exhausted so I’m going to go pass out now. I just wanted to let everyone know I was doing well and will write more soon.
We’re glad you’re getting through this round ok. The doses of chemo administered are pretty intense. I guess this now makes the score……Jess 2, Leukemia 0. It won’t be long and you’ll be on to the last phase.
Well your symptoms sound a lot like Sunday mornings back in the college days.
Glad you are doing well, all things considered.

Not really Chip. Jess isn’t much of a drinker and the first hangover (and toilet hugging) she ever had was her 30th bday. I was proud of that… since I had a hand in it.
Where are those preggo pops when you need ‘em?
So glad to hear this round has gone well and the fevers are staying away!! Hope things continue to look up you make it home this weekend!
Stay strong Sweet Jesse. Our thoughts of your continued strength of purpose and staying the course to its successful conclusion are with you, always. Our love
