Well, after writing about how bad it was on Tuesday night with the 104 temperature and preparing for the same again Wednesday night, guess what - nothing but about 5 minutes of mild shakes and little to no fever. I guess it is a day by day process on this treatment. Sleep is the big difficulty as I get the best sleep when I am on my stomach but I cannot do that because of the pic line which keeps me switching to my right side. Since surgery on my right side, that lasts about 10 minutes before I wake up in pain. I hate sleeping on my back as I never can get a good rest, but that is where I end up now. But I do get sleep and it seems right now that sleeping, eating and getting treatments is all I seem to be doing. Well I thank God that I have each day and that I have only 16 more to go after today.
Pastor Quick got some good news as they believe that they got all the melanoma on his head, but he will have to take the interferon. He will be about 6-8 weeks away from starting. This will put him into May. Not a bad time to start as it is not yet the heat of the summer. I am told that this is the worse time to start interferon.
Patti also informed me today that with the pic line I cannot lift anything weighing more that a few pounds. This includes grandkids and my projects over at the warehouse. So, I will go to the drawing board and figure up some new plans and projects for when the pic line comes out. It is probably best that I slow down for the next three weeks and let my body fight any cancer that may still be in there although I firmly believe it is all gone. I have turned it over to God to take it out of my body and I trust that he has.
Got to eat again then leave in an hour for treatment #4. The doctor told me it was a little premature to start counting the days, but I feel it was important to start the count at day #1. Thanks for the prayers. I truly think that they were the factor in my good night last night.
