We didn't do much of anything yesterday. Mr. Indi wasn't feeling very well; suffering the side effects of the Lupron injection that he got last Wednesday while he was at the doc's. Lupron does something to the body's hormones that causes them to go bozo and then to cease production for a time. Prostate cancer feeds on testosterone and Lupron helps to block that hormone. But one of the side effects is hot flashes and feeling faint - and with the temperature at over 90F - the poor chap was suffering.
We did get a bit of household drudgery done - him pushing the vacuum and me waving a dust rag. I also cut all the dead geranium flowers and did a general tidy of the patio plants. The roses are looking quite sad now and I don't think I will get anymore pretty blooms this year - too much sun!
With the hot weather, we are now relying on cold meats and salads for dinner. Last night was smoked turkey - red spuds - avocado and tomato slices - cranberry jelly. Yumptious!
Well, today is chemo day again - it's amazing how three weeks flies away! Mr. Indi will be receiving Cisplatin, Taxotere and the bone hardening drug, Aredia. They will also pump him full of Benadryl, Decadron and Xanax to suppress the nausea. I will drop him off at the chemo lab at 9 a.m and I expect that he will be there most of the day. I am thankful that Dr. J. will be in the cancer center today and will be able to keep his eye on things. So - fingers are crossed!
