Chemo day just like every Thursday except that it's now been 3 Thursday without chemo.
Two weeks ago, it was his white blood cells that were too low. Last week it was he pancreas having issues. Today it's his level of enzymes in his pancreas that are too high, so they decided not to do the chemo.
This means that the chemo calendar has been put on hold for now, we are stopping on day 29 even though today should be day 43.
They weighted Florian who is at a new record for him: he is at 80kg (173 lbs). Still more than his father though. He has lost 27kg (60 lbs) since the first day of his sickness. This morning he was sitting on a bench (without cushions) and according to him it is horrible to be skinny because you feel all your bones: it's all bonny. Before he had some padding on the his back which soften the bench and were his cushions but now he is all bony. Overall he doesn't like being skinny. Of course I am a bad judge given my cushions....but apparently he feels it's more comfortable to keep them. It has to be said I never thought of that argument. I don't think that weight watchers would be very happy to hear the slogan: "For more comfort stay chubby".
The advantage to not having chemo for 3 weeks is that he feels better. He is starting to eat again of course much smaller proportions than before. He isn't finishing everything on the plate but he was glad to go have a good brunch after learning there was no chemo.
This means he has this whole week to rest and recuperate.
His hair were starting to grow again slowly so he decided to shave them again. He would rather have a clean cut head.
We will see what will happen next week, at least we will have learned that it's not possible to plan everything ahead and that we have to take it day by day.
