Day 1: Home

The infusion went pretty well. I have a bit of nausea and the irinotecan appears to have caused me to sweat, even more than usual. However, the nurse noticed the sign of a reaction and gave me a second dose of medicine to help my body deal with it. I slept a lot during the five hours that I was there. 

I'm home, now. I have the 5-FU pump now for a couple of days. I'll get it taken off Friday afternoon. 

Mom's out getting some ginger ale and other groceries. I'll try to post an update at some point over the next couple of days. I'm thinking about go to some work meetings, to plan our new science curriculum, that I have scheduled for tomorrow. I'll have to see how the night goes and how I feel in the morning. I am feeling pretty tired at the moment, but a good night sleep might make a difference.

Thanks for all your prayers and thoughts.
