6th chemo

 Another Thursday, another chemo.  Arrive at 7:50 am at, oh, so familiar Dana Farber center ( the third floor check in, the blood work station, the south infusion pods) and out by 12. There is no Ketruda immune treatment today, so it is a much shorter infusion.

Now that 6th chemotherapy is done ✅, I am officially half way through my first type of chemotherapy.

(There will be 12 sessions all together for this one.)

I am slowly starting to feel the cumulative effects of the chemo, but it is still manageable.
