Morning! I'm felling pretty good! Had treatment #1 of Cycle#3 on Friday, so I had both drugs, Avastin & Ixempra. So far so good...I got a good night sleep both Friday night and Saturday night. There's something about those extra 2 or 3 hours in the morning. Each morning I woke up and look at the clock...it was 5 something each day...realized it was a weekend and went straight back to sleep until 8....almost 12 hours sleep each night..it feels great! Friday night Sean called while we were still at Dana Farber, he was going to throw the Fish again at the UNH hockey game it the game was televised on NESN. Based on the timing of my treatment, it was scheduled to finish until 6:35 and game started at 7:00. So when I had about 15 min left, Bernie went down stairs to get the car and be ready.....we made it home just in time for the first puck drop. I watched for almost an hour but was so tied I had to go to bed....I guess it was around 8:15 or so that UNH got their first goal so I didn't see it live but we had DVR's it so I was able to watch it yesterday morning. Well he shaved(thank god!), but it didn't look like he was completely clean shaven, but his crazy mustache is gone.
Here is picture of him throwing the fish 2 weeks ago when he had the crazy mustache!
