Even though my blood counts were lower than those at my last treatment, they still fell within the normal range so I was able to have round three today. Three down, five to go. We were able to use the port today (I wore a v-neck t-shirt in case you were curious) which worked very well...hands free chemo.
Today I brought my iPod and portable DVD player; both of which helped to pass the time (2 hour wait just to get in to see the nurse) and drown out the harmonica man. It appears that many patients enjoy the music of the harmonica man but for me it just makes the waiting more irritating. It's like rubbing salt in a wound. Steve forgot his headphones and offered me $200 for mine, but I turned him down.
I'm not experiencing the lag time anymore that I had between the treatment and the fatigue. It's here, like a bad hangover. Having said that, I think I'll call it a night.

Kim,
I'm so glad that you were able to get your third round of chemo going.
I'm off work now, so if you need anything or feel up to getting together just give me a call.
I'll leave it up to you to see how you are feeling.
Colleen
