Well, things definitely started to settle in yesterday. By the time I got home I was pretty wiped out and just stayed buttoned to the couch most of the night before heading to bed early. Food has started to turn on me a bit...everything seems like it was mixed from a powder (including water). Not ideal, but not the worst thing in the world either.
I got a good night's sleep, but woke up with the first tentacles of nausea tugging at my gut. Again, nothing big, but unfortunate nonetheless. By the time I got up and about, I started to feel fine again.
I'm definitely a bit more hazy this morning. Fingers aren't hitting all the right keys on the keyboard...I'm getting used to hitting that backspace key a bit more frequently than normal. All vitals are good, but the veins are getting a bit tired from all the punctures & injections this week, so the IV took a little while this morning to cram in there...fun, fun.
So...the first taste is beginning to settle in. Nothing that can't be handled though.

Hang in there - this was expected. You are strong and HE is way stronger. The plan is still in place and strong - you will come out the other side an impressive disciple for HIM. For those of us who know and love you - a real bonus . . . we get to see how HE will use you for his kingdom.
Geoff, I did smile quite a few times reading your comments, you almost sound like you are having fun although I really know you are not! Melissa sounds like a beauty for you-and I have heard quite a bit about her and the two of you through the years - I am sorry that you two have to deal with this and I know it will be a long, hard road but on the flipside, when it is over, you will be healed and so many will have been touched by your story! And I know from reading the comments that so many are in prayer for you. I, for one, have already been on my knees and you are a daily prayer for me until you are completely healed. I am so grateful you have faith in Him and He is with you every moment. Be blessed today--and hang in there--Peace!
Hey Geoff,
Trying to type this between phone calls here at the office. I am thinking of you and know you have the strength to overcome this. Please know that I'm thinking about you. Your almost finished the first round and you did awesome
Geoff:
Hang in there...It isn't going to be easy, but you are a stong guy and it may not get easier but you can tough it out...I am praying for you and thinking about you every day...The chemo is healing you from the outside in and God is healing you from the inside out...

Geoff-Thank you for setting up this blog. Now we know how you are doing on a daily basis and don't have to call and bug you! Sounds like today has been the hardest day yet---take it easy and rest all you can. You are strong and so is your body. You can fight this yet!
We've been praying for you---even Liam has added you and Melissa to his nightly prayers.
We love you!
Carey, Tavan, Liam & Graeme
Geoff, who knew you could make people laugh reading about Cancer. You have quite a witty writting style.
I look forward to smiling more and more as I read the great progress you're going to make in the weeks and months to come.
All the best,
Nigel,
Hey Geoff,
We're thinking of you everyday, and keep up the positive attitude, you will get through this, you're strong and I know you can do it. Wish we could be there to help you in someway, but we'll just keep our good thoughts coming your way, you and Melissa take care of each other and let us know if there is anything we can do :-) Love Niki and Adam
Hi Geoff, having watched my dad go through chemo for colon cancer, I wasn't surprised to hear that yesterday and today were a little tough. He was 70 years old at the time and this year he turned 78 and is still cancer free!! Praise God! Our Lord is the GREAT PHYSICIAN and I, like Sue, am so thankful that you know Him personally and can lean on Him. Please know that I am lifting you up often for complete and absolute healing; our small group is as well. I also pray that you feel God's Comforting Presence and that through this experience you get to Know Him in a ways that you never imagined. One more day in this series . . . All of Psalm 119 is beautiful, but I pray that this one is true for you right now: May your unfailing love be my comfort, according to your promise to your servant. And finally, Psalm 143:8, look it up :)
Geoff,
Have been thinking of you and know that you are strong and will get through this.

HI Geoff,
I wish I could send you all my strength to fight this... sounds like you aren't taking any prisoners though. I just wanted to tell you that I work for a company called Amgen, we make Neupogen, Neulasta, and Aranesp... I think you would have most likely heard of them and they may be one of those damn injections you had to take prior to and post chemo. I'm not sure if I can help in anyway, but please let me know if you can think of anything I can do to help alleviate any stress you may be having throughout this hold ordeal.
We are all thinking of you - and I think Zack's receding hairline doesn't seem so bad to him anymore... ; ) - sorry Zack! But thanks Geoff!!
...Annie
