I've seen better days

Hello from Philly-
Currently finishing up in Cycle 2b. We tried to stay in State College as long as possible on Sunday, spending time eating and watching the Superbowl at Gary and Becky's house, finally around the 3rd quarter we decided we better begin our trek back to Philly. Needless to say it was a late night and we were pretty tired for our 8:30am Monday appointment. Our talk with Dr. Staddon and Laetitia was very positive; Brandon's counts looked good, we found out we could leave Philly a day early this week, and we discussed our game plan for the next few weeks. All in all that was a positive point in the day.
I would be lying if I said each visit gets easier. Although we have this drill down pat and we are very lucky to have amazing medical care and support team, mentally some days are better than others. Anxiety and stress can get the best of the most positive people sometimes. Maybe it's the fact Brandon knew he'd be in that chair 2 more Mondays in a row or maybe it's that spending 8 hours in an oncology unit can't be fun for anyone, who knows? But, yesterday we were mentally drained. On a more positive note Brandon felt pretty decent & we were much happier once we were nice and comfortable back at the Sofitel. Our favorite homecare nurse, Meredith, came and hooked Brandon up to fluids and he ate a full dinner. My good friend and college teammate, Kara, came down to the Sofitel and had dinner with Becky and I. So after a long day, our night ended pretty well.
We are taking each day in stride, Brandon has bloodwork at Penn throughout this week and we look forward to having a relaxing weekend at home, before repeating this exact same process next week.

Much Love-
B&S
