Easy day at the clinic followed by a difficult evening

Yesterday Sawyer resumed his treatments and all went well. He received two types of chemo with the entire process taking about eight hours. Sawyer seemed to be doing fairly well until about 11:30pm last night when he became extremely nauseated and began throwing up. This lasted for quite a while before he could go to bed and then he was up a couple more times during the night. The plan is to begin the anti-nausea medication routine once he is awake to hopefully mitigate this problem. Unfortunately this is unlikely since he is receiving chemo orally for the next two weeks and via his power-port for the next three days. On a related note, it looks like the next ten to twelve weeks will be difficult due to the intensity of the treatment. According to his Nurse Practitioner, once he gets through the next several weeks, he will begin receiving a much more manageable dose of chemo as part of his next round of treatment. That being said, it is safe to say that chemo in any form has its challenges.
