Back in for my second round of chemo. Doc said I was so far ahead of the norm in my response to the first round that he's confident two to three more rounds that I'll "never be bothered by this again."
Huge shoutout to the medical, nursing, and support staff here at Duke. Incredibly competent, professional, and supportive. I should add that they're a magnificent example of diversity.
