Running the Gaunlet

Ernie continues to endure each and every procedure that comes his way.  As part of the gastric emptying study, "breakfast" this morning consisted of eggbeaters cooked in a Styrofoam cup in the microwave with a dash of radioactive isotopes.  Ernie is not one to complain so when he said they were awful and that he could hardly choke them down, I knew it must have been bad.  Of course he persevered, the researchers got their pictures and we were home by noon. 

The chemo is starting to catch up with him, as we were warned.  He is getting more fatigued each day.  Of course, he refuses to succumb.  He took a nap after lunch and then insisted on a 2 mile walk.  We both hope that his white count stays high enough that he can complete the chemo without interruption.
