Yesterday was a good day. Gus' blood counts were low, but the doctor was not concerned. Gus still received his full dose of chemo. He slept on the drive coming home, but then surprised Scott and I by joining us as we were building fence in the afternoon. He was swinging a hammer right alongside Scott. Gus did comment how it took so many more swings to drive that spike into that pole than in the past. Gus was exhausted in the evening, but he so loved being outside doing something. Scott and I loved having him.
Gus had a restless night, but he feels good today. He is looking forward to Saturday, because that is the beginning of his chemo-free week. No oral or IV chemo until the following Saturday.
They did draw blood for another CA 19-9 test yesterday. We should have the results by Friday.
Gus has not lost anymore weight, so that really pleases us. His appetite seems to have improved slightly. He is really trying to push the fluids and the food and it seems to really have made a difference.
