I just want to wish you well and tell you to just concentrate on each day. Don't look ahead, just stay in the moment. The days do start to pass before you know it. I honestly can't believe we are nearly done with treatment. My husband only got in 2 cisplatins, couldn't complete the third because his labs weren't good enough. He got nasty hiccups with both chemos. His lasted 2 days and then just stopped. He felt crummy pretty much the whole week of chemo but always started to rebound a bit by the weekend. Make sure you stay on schedule with the Zofran or whatever anti-nauseas you may be on. Even if you don't feel nauseous, take them on schedule. They work much better that way. We learned that the hard way.
I'm glad you are underway with your treatment and keep up that sunny disposition. It truly goes a long way.
