Dale's nausea is taking over again and reports he lacks focus and cognitive capacities. He has a strong heart (physically and figuratively) although the rest of his organs seem to be affected by the chemotherapy. Nurses refer to it as chemo-brain, chemo-stomach, or chemo-fatique, etc. He sleeps a lot but does not get much rest. Dale maintains each day, and I am sure his chemo-brain thinks a variety of thoughts to pass the time.
Bone marrow transplant doctor visit today, we believe, will be the official release from his care and back to the mantle cell lymphoma doctor. BMT has periodic visits in the next year for progress and tests, but since the transplant is good, they are done.
