Antibiotics

E.'s been really having a time of it with a constant runny nose, lots of coughing, excessive sneezing and a sore throat to boot. Not really sure if the symptoms are side effects of the chemo, if he caught a cold or some other bug, or if he's just experiencing allergies. Any which way you look at it though, he doesn't feel great.

At his weekly check-up with the oncologist today, concern was expressed about a possible sinus infection. The doctor would rather be safe than sorry and didn't want to wait to see if the infection got worse before doing anything, so he prescribed some antibiotics. (And surprise, surprise, we actually filled the prescription and E. is actually TAKING the prescription. It goes to show that he really is feeling like crap.)

And as a side note, I'm not exactly sure how the co-pay for a $2,000 chemo drug was 20 dollars while the co-pay for a simple antibiotic wound up being 40 bucks. Go figure.

E.'s resting up and trying to feel better before Wednesday and the next round of chemo rolls around agin.
