C1D3 = Cycle 1 Day 3

Dale was up early today...awoke about 6:30am. He notes some sensation in his mouth, not easily defined. He's using a new toothpaste and mouth rinse (Biotene) as requested by his Research Nurse. Biotene makes his mouth feel better.

Face is a bit flushed.

Breakfast, biscuits and bacon. Some comments about the taste being lowered.

Comments about the sensation of his hands being shaky this morning.

Nothing above is a concern, just observations.

Attitude: terrific, Energy level: 110%, Activity level: above normal.

Dale is taking Dexamethasone (steroid, 2 pills a day/twice a day for 3 days) and Zofran (nausea, 1 pill/8 hours or as needed). He's taking the Zofran as a preventative to nausea, none noted so far.

Zofran is great. Sounds like a good day. He's getting more doses of steroid than Dave, hopefully that's helping him not feel tired. The steroid can make him "jittery".
