First Treatment

Denbie's and my day began early this morning. I had a 6:30 appointment for blood work followed by my first round of chemo treatment at 7:30. All seemed to go without a hitch and I was able to catch a few winks while receiving the first part of my treatment. That part lasted about 3+ hours and then I was connected to another bag that will pump through a fanny pack that will work 24 hours a day while worn around my waist and will be removed on Friday after my radiation session. The radiation sessions begin on Wednesday and there will be 28 of those on a Monday through Friday basis. We will repeat that schedule for the next 5 Mondays. Again, everyone we've encountered has been stellar in their dedication to patient focus and patience in explaining procedures and knowledge when questions are asked. I continue to be uplifted by the love that is poured upon myself and my family from so many wonderful friends. I am eternally greatful to each and everyone. I see myself strong and healthy on the other side of this and I look forward to seeing you all "further on down the road"..... My love to all.
