Operation Smooth Move Complete

Thanks to Major Corej for the clever name :) I am recovering nicely, and can even eat regular food as of Saturday. Ali even said that I was snoring on Friday night, which is something that never happens. Still, it is a testament to the quality of sleep I am now receiving. I even went all last night without becoming fully awake.

Two weeks ago, on the first day of the chemotherapy cycle, I was at 143 lbs 12 oz. The following day I was down to 140lb. By Friday, I was up to 154lb (GI stallage). Today I am happy to say that I am back down to a clean 140lb, even though my normal non-cancer weight is 150-155lb.

I got my weekly shot of bleomycin today. I went into work for about 1.5 hours before feeling ill and leaving. Turns out I was running a fever of 101.3. The doctor said it is a side effect of the bleomycin, and to tough it out. Other than the fever, I feel pretty good.

I am going to try to go into work for half days this week as possible. Of course, if I am still running a fever tomorrow then it may have to wait...again.
