Tomorrow, Monday, I start up on the chemo pills again. I will take my anti-nausea meds earlier this time if it affects me the same way. I have an appointment at 10:15 am on Wednesday at the cancer center, and I am unsure if that will be the last one before my trip or not. As of tomorrow, it will be 3 weeks until I leave. I've gotten my pre-trip research done on new places to see, bus and train schedules written down, flight information, and all that other stuff. I like to do as much work on my trip before I go so that I don't have to look things up over there, thereby maximizing my time to enjoy my surroundings, not to mention downing pints in my pubs.
I am getting in better shape, slowly, but better than not at all. My arms in particular have a lot better tone now than they have in months. I just tire out easily since my blood cell counts are low. I walked around outside quite a bit today and noticed that I was not breathing hard, so having 2 weeks off of the pills does help me a lot. That is good to know since I will have to drag my luggage from where the bus station is to the apartment I am renting in Løkken, and it's not quite a third of a mile walk. I will have been off the pills for 2 weeks by that time, just like today. My friends' café is about 500 feet from my apartment, and I always stop in there to let them know I am in town, so if I am tired from hauling my stuff, I can sit down and rest for a bit.
