Day 5

Finally I finished the first round of Etoposide. Now I'll have two days free from Chemo - yeah! I'm still coping with nausea but I feel better than yesterday. I hope I can eat more during these two days to take the next Cisplatin on Thursday. I have another mild side effect of rashes now. The nurse said try the ointment and the benadryl. She said it is because my immune system is weakened this happened. I better start getting my immune system back on!
Thank you all for your kind thoughts and offers - I really appreciate it so much!

Have you been able to take a walk lately? It's almost a bit chilly in the morning, isn't it? Please bundle up on your way to the hospital or when you take a walk in the morning... just in case...

Hooray! Two whole days without chemo! Do try to eat as much as you can Mizuho. I will send Les by tomorrow night with some food for you guys. Is there anything that you are craving? Is there anything that you just can't stand to smell/think about right now? I would be happy to (try) to make you anything that you want. I'm sure our Japanese readers here could cover the Japanese recipes while the Watsons and I can cover American foods.

If you are not nauseous tomorrow, but you don't quite have your appetite back, check out this flikr group of bentos:

Doesn't that all look so yummy and bright and colorful?

Enjoy your days off hon! Rest, exercise and eat!

Good job, Mizuho-san. I'm sure you must be tired. Please take a rest! I'm in Phoenix for three weeks. It's hot here

Yeah!!!! Please get some rest in preparation for the next wave. I hope you regain your appetite so you can recharge these two days.
