Weary . . . .

Stephen has dragged himself around these past 2 days. Not slept for a few  nights and very weary during the day. For the first time he actually said, "I don't feel at all well" whereas he usually manages to put on a brave face.   He slept all this afternoon and evening, in a big armchair, wrapped in a large rug. Took some paracetamols and went to bed. No appetite at all today.

Stephen took a pill last night to help him sleep. I looked it up on the internet and it states it also acts as an antidepressant. This may be the reason he felt so drowsy and weak today  - tho' I thought he was weary and his complexion a tad yellow yesterday.  He finished a course of steroids 3 days ago which may have some bearing on his present state of health.
He's going to talk to the oncologist tomorrow. Let's hope the doc can make Stephen comfortable.
Today was worrying.
