It’s Saturday. In the morning, Yuki is going to play tennis, and I’ll probably go to the gym.
Yesterday he was able to take chemotherapy, and at this stage his team has decided to continue with it. He’ll have a CT scan right after the New Year holiday — earlier than originally planned. At that point, they will decide whether he should receive radiation.
The three of us mainly talked about his numbness. If Yuki’s quality of life drops significantly, the current chemotherapy should be stopped, even though it has been effective in keeping the tumors from progressing. The doctor also told me, “If you, as his family, feel that his quality of life has clearly decreased, please let me know.”
After the consultation, when we stepped out of the room, Yuki told me that he wants to continue the treatment as long as it’s working — even until the point where he can no longer hold a pen.
