Roberto spent some of the night dry heaving and started the morning with throwing up. :( Luckily, that was it. We were able to get to the Infusion Center without problems. The nurse got Roberto started on the amazing anti-nausea medicine (the same from Monday) and that seemed to do the trick. He still had some issues with dry heaving, but that's something we can live with nowadays. I'm just glad that he can eat a small peach and *not* throw it up 30 minutes later. It's a vast improvement over cycle 3. The thing is, I've gotten used to the weird, disgusting burping/heaving noises that Roberto makes. :\
ONE MORE DAY!!! Then Roberto can slowly start building his strength! We confirmed with the oncologist's nurse that we'll have to wait at least a month before consulting with the thoracic surgeon. While we want to jump right into surgery, it probably *is* best for Roberto to rest a bit in case he needs to have the open chest surgery (which seems like a strong possibility from how the doctors talk about it). This also means we get to enjoy a "normal" life for an extra week or two. But, anyway, ONE MORE DAY!
Hi Roberto, I'm thinking about you. You're working on a challenging project, and you're doing a great job!
