Inspiring, isn't it?
Don had his central line (trifusion catheter) inserted on Friday morning followed by two hours of leukapheresis. They started started chemo that afternoon. The continuous infusion is really remarkably simple. Two oral agents (Thalidomide and Dexamethazone); the "red devil" (Adriamycin) goes over 4 days and every day we go to the cancer center for counts, nausea med and another bag of IV chemo with the other three agents. Don did fairly well on his first two days of high dose chemotherapy. A little nausea the first day, but otherwise did well. The third day it hit him like a brick wall. He slept almost 20 of 24 hrs the next three days. We had a bit of postural hypotension from dehydration, as well. Above are some pictures of our apartment and our "therapy" pooches, who have adjusted well to the new surroundings.
