T Minus 10

We had our first day of chemo this afternoon. It took about 5 hours. We all got through it fine. We made it back to the apartments around 8:00. Dave got me settled in, then he ran out for some Mexican food. Don't know what it was exactly, but it was great! This will be a short post, because tomorrow is another chemo day. We have to meet the van at 7:30 AM. I still have to finish drinking my required 3 liters before heading off to bed. Thankfully, I'm nearly finished.

This is "Group 3". The guy standing beside Dave is our driver, Tony. The guy in the center in the yellow shirt is Lorenzo. Since we 5 patients are all "wheelies", Lorenzo drives the wheelchairs in a separate van. Both of these guys assist with loading us on and off. They are so kind and compassionate. They are also quite witty which makes the process as fun as possible.
