Cycle #4: Day 20

As I gear-up for Cycle #5 I am a little bit shocked about how well I feel. For the majority of this cycle I have felt strong, no nausea, no vomiting, huge/healthy appetite, and alert. I also still have all my hair. With the exception of the first four days, I have truly not felt like I was in the midst of a chemotherapy regimen. I think that part of this is the prednisone, but I can't imagine it accounts for all of it. Really wonderful. The cough continues to be held at bay by the steroid. The orthostatic hypotension is periodically and unpredictably troublesome, but I'm taking all the steps that I can to minimize it. It has truly been a spectacular couple of weeks. I think the last time that I felt this good was about 9-10 months ago.
