I’m finally back home, got a pretty good night’s sleep, and am feeling better than I have in quite a few days, presumably thanks to the blood transfusion yesterday.  I had two units of blood pumped in yesteray as ordered on Friday, and it seems to be working, at least in terms of me having a little bit of energy.

Ears are sill ringing constantly, no food taste, and some digestion issues.  However, those have been persistent since the end of the first round.  The last round of chemo is scheduled for a week from tomorrow.  Assuming no further complications and adequate blood counts, that will be the beginning of the end!  At least, as far as chemo goes.  After that, I won’t know a thing for at least 6 weeks, when a PET scan can be taken to see if the chemo shrunk any tumors, and to what extent.
