Today is Mark's 43rd day since this whole ordeal started. The doctors refer to you by the number of days since your very first day of chemotherapy. It certainly feels longer than 43 days but things are looking up.
Mark is on his second day of his second round of treatment and is feeling pretty good. Doing it as an outpatient has it's benefits and drawbacks. He is happy to be home with us but the long commutes into VGH are tough. Mark also gets the comforts of home but along with them comes the daily routine of having two small children to feed, bathe and get to bed. Fortunately for us, our family has been here to help. Phew! Up till now, Mark has been coping with the physical side effects pretty well. We are keeping our fingers crossed that this will hold out for the 4 remaining days of this treatment and beyond. Sometimes the effects are felt once you're done. Let's hope not!
For now, we've got 43 days behind us and 4 more "treatment days" ahead of us.
