End of the first week of new Chemo Treatment

Joe did very well this week with the effects of his chemo treatment on Monday.  He felt good on both Tuesday and Wednesday, possibly too good.  I think he overdid it both days so by Thursday it had caught up with him and he spent the vast amount of the day laying on the sofa and not eating well.  Both Tuesday & Wednesday he was out for lunch, had chorus/choir practices and just out and about running errands.  Hopefully he has learned his lesson and next week he will pull back a little on Tuesday & Wednesday so that the rest of his week can be good too.  He has felt better today, Friday, but it's only 7:45pm and he's already talking about being tired and going to bed soon.  I guess I just might have to start cracking the whip a little and get him to behave himself when I am at work and no one is around to tell him to either SLOW DOWN or JUST STOP!  But we all know he won't listen so I'll just keep whining and he'll just keep being Joe and we'll all keep loving him.

Next week we have his oncology appointment at 7:20am on Monday at Duke  and the chemo treatment is scheduled for 8am.  Hopefully the lab results will be in so he can begin on time.
