It’s been two weeks, which is just about one cycle.
Who knows if the next 7 treatments will follow this same pattern (including when we’re able to schedule these things – they only let us do one week schedule in advance), but for now here’s how it goes:
| Date | Joseph | Ramona | Comment |
| Week 1 | |||
| Thursday | CHEMO | at home | |
| Friday | Tired, but mostly OK | Works short day | |
| Saturday | Getting more tired, but still OK | Home (obviously) | childcare or errand running this weekend is extra helpful |
| Sunday | utterly exhausted | Home | |
| Monday | exhausted | Home | |
| Tuesday | getting better, but still tired | works short day | This is the most useful day for daytime childcare |
| Wednesday | even better, but tired | home/telework | keeping my usual Wednesday-home schedule. |
| Week 2 | |||
| Thursday | feels OK | works full day | |
| Friday | feels fine | works full day | |
| Saturday | feels good | home | If you want to get together to do something, this is the weekend. |
| Sunday | feels good | home | |
| Monday | good | works full day | |
| Tuesday | good | works full day | |
| Wednesday | good | home/telework | |
The ideal schedule laid out doesn’t ever work this way. Just by the way.
