I tried an interesting anti-nausea measure today. I gave him a book to read. A food book. Like Water for Chocolate. Not only is it all about cooking and food, it's about Mexico, so it should grab his attention. And it's definitely made him hungry. I wonder if it would have been better to find him a copy in Spanish so he could also brush up on his language skills?
After this full week of that one type of chemo shot and daily pills, he switches to another kind of chemo shot and chemo IV drip a few times a week for the rest of the month. Then he goes back to the daily shots for March. Yes, it's weird. We have a little calendar they gave us with these things all mapped out and highlighted with different colors.
Other than that, he's having trouble adjusting to having no hair. I'm used to looking at him by now, but he gets all funny if he takes his hat off. When the sun hits it or the breeze, it makes him jumpy. Which isn't the worst side effect to be troubled by actually.

This very complicated regime they have him on..... how in the world did they figure all of these steps out in the first place? It's pretty weird and mysterious.
