Perhaps it was too much to expect the end of chemo and radiation to go smoothly.....
Steve had two pretty good days. Friday, the last day of radiation, Terry and he went out to lunch and Steve ate some pizza. He also had a light dinner. We saw him Saturday morning and he looked great. He ate a yogurt for breakfast and had some energy. Terry said he was tired later in the day but he ate some dinner. He hadn't taken any pills except his diabetes pills since Dr. Hu's permission to stop them.
Sunday went not so well. He threw up his juice before breakfast, then again after lunch. Then twice after his half a sandwich for dinner. He initially didn't want to take any anti-nausea medications, thinking he would feel better and it would pass, but Terry made him take the pills when it didn't stop.
They are scheduled to see Dr. Cox tomorrow morning. I hope he stays well enough to make it through tonight until then. I suppose it's only the residual from his cancer treatment and not anything else, like from the platelets being low or his creatinine levels being high. We'll find out tomorrow, I suppose.
