"Chemo? What Chemo?" Slam "Chemo? What Chemo?"

Well Steve had a full course of chemo treatment last night, along with new meds to reduce the side effects brought about by the experiemental drug. So the good news is that Steve is more than likely getting the experimental drug.  

After our last experience, we opted to stay overnight so Steve's side effects could play out in a motel room, rather than in the  car. Good thing too - the new meds did a better job of curbing nausea and diarrhea, but did not eliminate them. He was fine walking out of the hospital ("chemo? what chemo?") , but the side effects overtook him within an hour. So, once we checked into the motel Dixie steered Steve to bed where he crashed out, making frequent trips to the loo. 

Then about midnight we awoke to the alarm clock the former guest had set as a "favor" for us. Steve noticed he once again felt good ("chemo, what chemo?"). He slept though the rest of the night soundly. 

This morning he woke up okay, hungry and thirsty. So today he's up and about, crusing home (thank you for driving Dixie)  operating like he'd just not had enough sleep We'll see how the day progresses!
