I am finished with 5 out of 6 cycles of my chemotherapy. With only two more to go I am pretty excited for it to be over. It is not fun to go through, but very much needed. This time my Dad and I were accompanied by Timmy. He had some time off so he decided to come up with my Dad for the chemo, which was awfully nice of him. This time the it seemed like it took longer. I still did homework, and my Dad and Timmy both had their own TV to watch. Timmy used the one that was for me. The doctor did forget to order one thing, an anti-nausea medication so that took a little time to get it sorted out but even without that it still felt longer for some reason. It was also the latest session I've had. Normally it is earlier in the day. It won't however be the latest, the next one will be even later because of our flight.
With this last one I have gotten sick a few times, and had (still have) the awful taste in my mouth. The taste is one of the worst parts of the whole ordeal, in my opinion. Not sure if I said that at all already, and it probably won't be the last time. It is really bad. The doctor told me that my white blood count was the lowest it has been, in fact it was almost nothing. This makes my plan to wear a mask in the airplane/airport sound like a even better idea. I looked up some ways I could increase the count and will try some I think. Hopefully it is up for my next chemo.
Tomorrow Taylor and I will take off from Grand Forks and land in Las Vegas a couple hours later where we will be met by her grandparents. From there we will drive down to Lake Havasu City, AZ, where we will spend our week of spring break. One thing Taylor and I are excited for is to dine at In-and-Out burger again. Being in the nice warm weather will be really good.
