Day One

Today was day one of chemo. Kelli went with me all day. we arrived at 8 and left around 3:30. I received  the chemo drugs vp-16 and a platinum based drug. Tomorrow I will have these same drugs plus the Bleomycin that I will receive every Tuesday for the next 9 weeks. 

     

 I felt pretty normal all day, but was a little tired and nauseous when I got home. I took some prescription stomach and anti-nausea medicine. I don't know if it was the pills or the great dinner that Beverly Tomlinson brought over, but I feel much better.

     

I want to thank every one for your encouragement and prayers. As one e-mail today reminded me, I am like that guy in the cell-phone commercial with thousands of "my people" with me everywhere I go. Please pray that I would be a good witness to those around me, and that I would not be too unbearable to my kids or Kelli.  Please pray that Kelli would feel good, and that she would still have time to rest, and that our baby that she is carrying would get all the stuff that it needs. We should find out Wednesday what gender the baby is.
