Sleeping better, starting to exercise and less dreams are all welcome changes for Clancy. He still feels crummy each day, but can't do much about that. It's a flu-like feeling that changes in severity throughout the day. Next week marks the start of maintenance chemo and frequent blood work. He'll have chemo injections and begin oral meds then. The side effects should be quite mild compared to the intensive chemo he was subjected to during his visits to Salt Lake City.
Clancy's been able to work full time or nearly full time for the past few weeks. He's still on "light duty," but is looking forward to working his way back to full duty sometime this summer. Light duty limits him to adminstrative duties, which comprise most of his regular duties anyway. Full duty will be marked by Clancy being allowed back in uniform. That will be a huge milestone. He last wore it on September 22, 2010. It will take a significant amount of work to get his strength and stamina to a point the doctor will sign off on full duty.
Have a great weekend and count your blessings.
