Mitchell made it through his first clinical trial treatment, but it wasn't easy. He spent almost 11 hours at the Cancer Center on Tuesday. After a day full of constant monitoring of his heart, blood sticks, urine monitoring and general data collection, Mitchell was wiped out. For the first time in his treatment, he had to leave the Center in a wheelchair.
Since the treatment he seems to be more and more tired. He has been good about resting. The swelling in his legs and feet continue. He has been sleeping in bits and pieces throughout the day and early evening. During the night, sleeps seems to evade him.
I worry constantly about his pain; even though he says he is fine.
We are spending a lot of careful time together. It's important to say what needs to be said. And listen. And just be together.
