Round 6

  We have accepted the routine that is chemo. St Francis makes it as painless as possible. Valet parking makes getting in and out easy. We get the same nurse every week-Melissa is great. Bloodwork is first- always good so far. Then the anti-nausea meds are given while they mix the two batches of chemo.  The first bag takes about an hour and a half to drip in. Then wait for Melissa to come in and switch to the second bag which takes about an hour to drip in. This week everything went smoothly. 8:00 arrival and he was out of there by 1:30- not bad. Kenny has been really fatigued and not sleeping well but he's hanging in there and staying positive.
  Next Tuesday will be the first CT scan since the original diagnosis. It will show how well the chemo has worked and will help the Dr. decide the next course of treatment. We are looking forward to good news.
  Thank-you to everyone who has been so thoughtful ~your cards, kindness and prayers are much appreciated.
