Day-7 second day of chemo

Today was very similar to yesterday, with the exception that my chemo schedule is twice a day for the next 4 days.  The schedule is 2 drugs which take an hour each at 10 am and at 11 am.  Then the 2 drugs are repeated again 12 hours later, at 10 pm and 11 pm.  Between the chemo and how the dexamethasone wires me up, looks like another sleepless night in the hospital!  Today’s cocktail is: ARA- C and Etoposide.
so far so good, no bad side effects yet.
Caroline came today again around lunch time, and just left.  Driving back to NoVa for a few nights and I’ll see her first thing Saturday,  she is a pillar of strength for me.  I’ll miss her, but she needs to take care of herself.  A few nights of being at home, sleeping in your own bed, loving on those beagles is just what the doctor ordered!
Dowloaded and and listened to the fourth Beatles album today, “Beatles for sale” this early stuff is very interesting.  Started watching House of Cards season 3, and loving it.also checking out White Collar, and Banshee.
Currently reading a book recommend and delivered by Cuz Jess called Empire of the moon, and story about the rise and fall of the Camanches. This is a very powerful story and well worth the read.  Any other book or movie or TV  series recommendations welcome!
