From Garrett:

Coming off chemotherapy has been an incredibly tough week—I’ve been feeling much worse than before, by a lot. I visited the doctor yesterday, and they said this is normal. It’s frustrating because the only reason I chose chemotherapy was because I was told it would help relieve the pain, but so far it’s been much worse.😬 They explained that the chemo has aggravated the cancer, causing everything to be inflamed right now. After receiving such a heavy dose of chemo, my body is trying to figure out how to handle it. It’s been a rough ride, but yesterday was a little better, and today is shaping up to be even better. I’m hoping we’re on the right path toward feeling better. I guess I’ll know more later today—moment by moment—but my goal is to continue improving every day.
