chemo round 8 scheduled for today

I've felt fine since I came home from the hospital (actually, I felt fine in the hospital too, once they gave me antibiotics and the fever went away). They sent me home with six days of Levaquin, an antibiotic, as well as a month's supply of Prednisone, which they may take me off early. There's a slight chance I may not have chemo today, depending on what the chest X-ray shows regarding last week's atypical penumonia. But seeing as I've felt fine for the past week and the obstruction that was cutting off my throat when I took a deep breath is now gone, I'm guessing I'm fine.

I was originally scheduled for a CAT Scan today to check on the progress of my treatment (and give the docs an idea of whether 6 months will be enough), but since it's supposed to take place after the 4th cycle -- originally last Wednesday, but now today -- we've rescheduled that. So today will pretty much be business as usual, except I'll meet with my oncologists first to make sure I'm OK for treatment.

And actually, I've felt a lot better in the past week than I have in the past few months, in general. I don't know if it's the extra week off from chemo or one of the medications, but I seem to have been more motivated, less tired, and less indecisive about what to eat/what sounds good. It will be interesting to see if that carries over to tomorrow, which is traditionally the day I have the most trouble deciding what to do, including what to eat.
