Aside from occasional shingles-related pain, Jeff is feeling okay. His pneumonia has mostly resolved itself and the nausea he was feeling for the better part of last week has finally passed. His appetite is also making a comeback, and with any luck, he'll gain back a few of the pounds he lost before chemo starts again on Saturday. He is finally making some white blood cells, but his platelets and red blood are taking their good old time. Considering all of the chemo Jeff has received over the past two years, it is not a surprise that his marrow is taking a little longer to bounce back.
