Chemo day 6

Bob had his sixth chemo treatment today, and everything went fine. It's kind of hard to figure out what to give him to eat on chemo days. I make a nice breakfast for him before we go. But while there he just doesn't want to eat anything heavy. I think the hospital setting makes him lose his appetite. He'll eat yogurt or breakfast bars, but nothing really filling. But the bad thing is that by the time we get home he is ravenous and I can tell his blood sugar is low. This was the case today and I made him a nice big meal when we got home, but he was really tired and feeling rough by that time. I would like to think of something to give him at the hospital that would be more filling, but not so heavy that it bothers him, but so far we can't seem to figure out what that would be. He seems to feel even a sandwich would be too much. So, I'm open to suggestions.

We see the nutritionist on Wednesday, although we expect her to just look at him and go "OK, great, see you next month." On Friday we see the Oncologist, Dr. Posada. We will decide then how we will proceed with treatment. I expect him to give Bob the week off and then resume the chemo.

So anyway, this is a super busy week for us, but like I said, next week we should have the week off.

By the way, thanks so very much for all the sweet comments. It is so comforting to have such supportive friends. You really are such special people.
