November 11, 2008
Well the kemo process has begun. The first round was administered yesterday and took about five hours to complete. Two components were used along with hydrating fluid and anti-nausea meds. The anti-nausea meds seem to work since he was in good spirits today with no noticeable effects. He complained of being a little tired, but attributed some of it to boredom which I guess is a good sign.
Deanna went home today after spending the weekend and monday with him. He will miss her while she is gone.
Today the third component was given and will be repeated once per week every tuesday for the next nine weeks. He was resting comfortably when we left.

Ron, why is it I have to find out through the grapevine about your condition--and you've been blogging about it! In fact, we all had dinner recently and it wasn't even mentioned. Appalling behavior, I must say, keeping it hidden, the shaved head, hospital details, and the highly courageous move to Cleveland as winter starts in the Midwest (now that's a harrowing idea). Okay, well, now I'm up to speed. I hope you're doing okay. Will post more later.
