Break from Chemo

They gave my husband a break from chemo yesterday due to his 6 day hospitalization last week and leaving with c-diff (the gift that keeps on giving).  He will get back on his regular cycle June 4th.  Oncologist yesterday said he was very happy with the lymph node shrinkage on his last scan so he encouraged a break to get over the infection.  We have decided to take a vacation next week.  We are going to New England!  We will stay near my brother in Boston a few days (and hopefully see the Sox play) spend the weekend in Provincetown and end up at Foxwoods Casino.  My husband is feeling pretty good, just fatigue which irritates him.  I am glad we are going somewhere we can drive.  He considered going back to Vegas, but that is a big trip and a long plane ride, not to mention very far from home if he had some medical issues.

We'll be spending this weekend at our summer place for the holiday, a campground about 30 miles from home.  I'm looking forward to some fun times around the campfires with our friends there.  It's nice to be looking forward to the next few weeks, I recommend it to everyone if you can manage a getaway for a few days.
