1 down, 4 to go.....

My first day of phase 2 of chemo was uneventful (sort of......)

They couldn't get the IV started so after playing around with the needle stuck 1" in my arm, they decided that one wouldn't work and tried it on my other arm. The second stick was successful and after drawing 5-7 vials of blood, I nearly passed out and my blood pressure was 80/50.......not good.....

I was fine 10 min later and the chemo began...

I was at the hospital by 8:00 AM (actually 7:30 - Dad likes to be early,) and I was finished by 1:30.

I feel OK - just a little tired. I expect to be fine until Wed night or Thurs and then feel like crap thru Sat or Sun.....

So far, I'm glad we decided to try this out-patient instead of staying in the Hospital....we'll see if I still feel that way later in the week.

Hi Ron!!! Now you can keep up with the Trump in hairstyle fashion. I think our rottie puppy named Piper can empathize in a small way with you whenever we take her in the car. Virtually every time we take her in the car, she salivates and throws ups! First it was Siena, not the new 4 legged kid with vomit issues :) !! All the best. The Wyatt Clan

Go Ron!

Love the new hair cut. Bald is sexy you might decide to keep the look when your home.

Hannpy belated Thanksgiving as well. Bas and I went back to Chicago and had a Russian Thanksgiving with my father and stepmother and her daughter and son. It was really nice!

Some big news, Bas asked me to marry him and after much thought hahah kidding I said yes. It will be an interesting wedding more like the united nations at a party.

We are praying for you friend and can't wait to see you. You have to hurry up and get well so we, your many friends, can take you to dinner!

Love,

Jaz and Bas
