BMT Day -5

Dale's first chemo turned out to be vicious. His excruciating headache dominated the night lasting through different medications until doctor allowed for double dosages. That helped, but Dale did not get much rest. He appeared flushed and swollen to me, probably because of fluids and pain medications, however, his spirits were okay. He says the staff is not as social as he likes but while I was there, one of the aides was fun; that make Dale feel better.

Two more chemotherapies were given to him during the day, with little problems, so far. It will come, they said, probably next week. Looking forward to that. A great way to begin a new year.
