Today was essentially the same as last time; Kristina brought me this time and hung out for a while (I think actually seeing them deliver some of the drugs and seeing me in that room was hard for her - makes it more real). I read while I was there and was very comfortable the whole time. My mom stopped by and we hung out for a little while, took care of some Cape Medical business and had a relaxing 3 hours.
The nurses and staff at the center are extraordinarily kind, considerate, and empathetic; they never seem rushed (though they are much busier than we would like - lots of people come through just this one Chemo room on the Cape - too much Cancer around, way too much) and they're really all just sweet and helpful to everyone...you've heard this about other professions, but it certainly takes a special kind to do the work they do.
Felt great when Kristina came to get me, went steadily downhill from there - but feel pretty decent now after an anti-nausea pill. Sleeping and lounging in our hammock in the backyard - really nice day here.
Already got my NeuLasta shot so I don't have to go back until the Monday before my next treatment, in two weeks.
Mentally really good and excited to have another trip to the lab behind me...25% done!
Talk soon...Gary

Gary - congrats on finishing your second round of chemo. Keep hanging in there and know you have a lot of people thinking about you each step of the way. Your blog updates are great and continue to inspire.
Anyone who is healthy and had a routine day, yet thinks they had a bad day for whatever reason, should come here to read your postings...if you can battle cancer and still be so active and upbeat, then the least that the rest of us cancer-free people can do is enjoy our lives as much as you.
