Chemo begins

March 11th- Chemo day one:  A very long day. They placed a port-a-cath in Kennys upper chest to make chemo and bloodwork easier. From there we went over to the Cancer Center for the first round of Chemo. They do it slowly at first to check for allergies or reactions. 2 types of medicine- one has a 90 minute feed and the other a 60 minute feed. But for the first day, it took almost twice as long. Kenny felt pretty good during the chemo- tired but good. 

March 12th:The fatigue remained and the nausea began- even with the meds, food isn't an interest. Nourishment comes from the strawberry ensure.

March 13th: Nausea still here- keeping hydrated is an issue.
