We are now a week and a half after chemotherapy and all is well. Steve is still feeling pretty well, similarly to before the maintenance chemo. His BP is back to normal, as it had been marginally high before and now the Norvasc is doing it's job without stressing the kidneys. He continues to push fluids as his kidneys slowly improve. His next check is coming up Friday when he has his next appointment with Dr. Hu.
He no longer is losing weight and is stable at 244 pounds. He is still taking Zofran (back to twice a day), prune juice and meds to prevent nausea and constipation. He is eating well with some occasional stomach upset. He tried some Mexican food but couldn't eat it without nausea.
The next week or two will be when chemo symptoms typically occur, if he is going to have any on this lower maintenance dose.
Summer is here and they are looking forward to a short family trip to the Grand Canyon. I hope they get some great photos.
