Day one...done ;-)

Hi all -

We got home about 4:15 today, that included a stop @ Culver's for lunch/dinner. He ate it all up-plus a chocolate malt, we have to keep the calories up, I hope I'm not the only one gaining weight though!!

The treatment went well, we got a couple new meds for the expected nausea that could follow for 2-3 days. We also got our schedule set up, now we have mostly a.m. appointments, I should be @ the office by noon Tuesday-Friday, provided Scott is not too ill from the chemo on Mondays.

He had his "port" put to good use, he gets a chemo medication 24/7 through that, he just carrys around the rubber ball like object (they call it a grenade) with the medication in it, that drug is refilled each Monday after the other meds/liquids are run in him through the same "port" in his chest.

We were done with the chemo about 12:15, (go figure we got there 50 minutes early this a.m. also). Roads were dry and clear, and traffic was good and steady. We then went to radiation had a short wait and appointment, then back to the clinic around 1:15, re-set the schedule and waited to see the Nurse regarding some trouble Scott was having with his ears, turns out they are good though.

So.........day one in, hope they all go this well for Scott.

Early to bed tonight I am sure.
