This is the latest in a series of blog posts by Mark Jeter, who is getting treated for stomach cancer.
He is chronicling his experience for The Sun in an effort to bring attention to the disease and tell people his story. He recently finished his first week of chemotherapy.
Here his wife Carla fills us in on some of the symptoms of treatment. She also talks about how her husband, who is always joking with people, has developed a bond with one of the technicians at the hospital:
Today was a great day for Mark!
He had a little indigestion this morning, got some meds, then felt great!
He is sleeping a lot more, but that's normal because the chemo makes you fatigued. He's lost a little of his appetite, which is also normal.
We went for a walk early this evening, and now we're chilling watching American Idol.
We will be discharged tomorrow morning.
Mark has met his match in his night technician Shenita, aka Smiley! She is hilarious and can go toe to toe with him! Lol. He tried to give her a hard way to go, but she came right back every time!
