Chemo Sucks!

Last week was rough! After Wednesday's treatment, Ken came home and slept most of the afternoon. When he woke up the symptoms really set in. He was incredibly nauseous, fatigued, and said it felt like his insides were being ripped apart. I have never seen anyone in this kind of pain. It is hard to describe, but from what I gather it's like the flu times ten. Ken did make it through the night and started feeling a little better after visiting the doctor again on Thursday. They did another fluid flush and pumped him full of vitamins and liquid. I've been keeping track of his pain level on a scale of one to ten. Wednesday night being a nine, a little better on Thursday night, and even better over the weekend. We should have a good week or so before he has to go through this again. The good news is the medicine is working and it's breaking apart all the tumors. Next time around he's got different drugs that should help him cope with the pain better and a sedative to help him sleep some of it off.
