Saturday After Cisplatin: Nothing Happening Yet

The Cisplatin drip went (yay!) uneventfully on Friday. Three hours (!) of pre-medications before they could even give him the chemical, then the chemical took two hours more.

As of today, Bill says he feels only weak and breathless, but otherwise fine (still on steroids, and anti-nausea, and anti-anxiety meds, and some Atomic Bomb Anti-Nausea pills that cost $90 EACH!)

Last time he had Cisplatin, there was no reaction until Monday. So we are hoping for an okay weekend.

A friend made him home-made sticky buns yesterday (like Cinnabons), and another friend mailed him home-made sugar cookies. Ohhhhhhhhhhh, he is so happy about those developments. He definitely lost weight lately, and can't finish even one serving of anything, but he can eat sweets.

I'll write again tomorrow, but we expect no drama until next week, and for that matter, we hope we just get to skip the drama entirely this time!

Love to all of you.
