Chemo Went well

Matt finished his first round of chemo on Friday, June 5. Now he has off until Friday, June 12 and he will start round 2 of chemo. He goes in the morning and they start an IV and gives him fluids and some medications. He is done around 1:00 and then he has to start with his chemo pills. He takes 6 pill every 12 hours for 7 days. He cannot drink anything cold or his throat feels like it is swelling up. He cannot touch anything cold it will numb his fingers. Matt had 2 days where he was very tired. He left work to take a nap. Otherwise this chemo treatment went fairly well. His tumor marker test was 1.8. We want to stay between 0-3!! So far so good!!
Matt has been happy to be back at work. He likes to keep busy! Probably to busy than he should be!! Everyone knows Matt!

Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers!
