It's Thursday evening and I'm feeling pretty good. I did better this week with side effects than last. Last week, I didn't feel well on Wednesday and Thursday. This week, I received two liters of saline solution (instead of one) on Tuesday and Wednesday. I also gave in to any wave of bad feeling and just stretched out and went to sleep. I didn't feel great, but I did much better.
I only have one more infusion of Cisplatin next Monday. I will continue with Zoloda on the same days as radiation right until the end, but the side effects are not as intense. I've had 8 radiation treatments and have 16 more to go. The end of this chemo/radiation phase is in sight. Then, I have six weeks of no treatment to get my strength back before surgery around the first week of May.
