Cycle 3, Week 3

Now that we’re into the third month of this latest treatment, the accumulation of the chemo drugs are taking their toll. Kev is feeling pretty miserable most of the time. Although now that week 3 treatment is complete, he gets next week off from Abraxane and is hopeful that some of the discomfort will subsides. He is still taking the Nexavar daily but his Rx runs out the end of this week. He can’t get a new Rx until he sees his Dr. which isn’t scheduled until mid next week (2 May). This is probably just the usual kind of mistake that we often encounter which is resolved after a few phones and trip to the medical center. But this time Kev is not interested in trying to “fix” it. He is looking forward to not taking any chemo and even though at our last Dr. visit the plan was to continue through cycle 4, Kev is now talking about taking a month off. He thinks the side effects of the treatment is causing him more discomfort than the disease itself.
