Steve’s Story

Today is Steve’s re-evaluation. They will evaluate the results from the previous radiation and chemotherapy rounds and decide what to do from here. Presently, tomorrow, Wednesday, is scheduled to be the last of the current round of radiation. He should have a period of rest now. He seems to be feeling ok, none of the horrendous side effects he had with the first chemotherapy attempt. He is tired, understandably, from the radiation, but he seems to be eating a bit better. Still some problems sleeping at night thought. He has to use the Morphine Sulphate at night for the discomfort. We will see what they say at today’s re-evaluation.

Last week was a fairly good week for Steve in terms of how he feels. He had been dehydrated from the treatments and that made him feel worse. He had a couple of hydration treatments last week and he felt good enough that he actually got out to the course to play. And he felt well enough to hang out at the river for one day. Of course, the back side of that was that there were no treatments last week, which, in terms of the disease, was a bad thing.
