This morning two nurses came over to our house to unhook T from his backpack and IV. His last day of chemo was yesterday, and he is so happy to be done. He had to get his Neulasta shot today though. He says that shot feels like they are putting acid into his veins. It burns really bad, but it is important because it builds the white blood cells that the chemo kills back up. This shot causes bone pain and body soreness though because it is pushing its way very aggressively into his marrow. The nurse told us today that one Neulasta shot costs between $3,000-5,000. He has to get that shot after each chemo therapy. Luckily our insurance covers it though. Still no sickness from chemo and he still has an enormous appetite.
I thought that Matthew was done coming up with new and unconventional ways of hair removal, but I was wrong. After the nurses left he went and found a lint roller and started rolling his chest hair off. It was so funny. I wonder what he will come up with next...
