Treament went well

Well he had his first treatment...or whatever you might want to call it. We don't have a number on the number of treatments he is going to have. It's all a guessing game. He had a 75% dose, which I thought was a little high (i'm not a doctor contrary to some beliefs) but I think they want it back in his system. Hopefully we can lower the dose to make him comfortable but not sleepy and sick. Not sure if it is helping the pain yet. Time will tell. We don't go back again for 3 weeks. Because we are leaving for St. Louis on the 4th. We have had this trip planned for almost a year. So if you think it's at a bad time, well it is but it's what we need to do. Keeping with plans, so much has been taken away from Ted and the kids. We couldn't take this away from them. We don't know how many more vacations we might be able to take. Besides we haven't gone anywhere is almost 2 years.

Some people think that Ted gets Chemo at the Hospital. He goes to this awesome cancer center. They have a few offices and mostly we go to the princess anne center. That is where his Doctor is on Friday and where we get treatments. You can check this place out at:

Someday i'm gonna bring a camera there. I know Ted doesn't want his picture taken but I see this view......of IV poles....It's an odd sight, a sad sight, especially when the room is full. I'm not sure how to capture this, but I would like to try.

I'm reading this book, by Joel Siegal, Lessons for Dylan. He just passed away after fighting colon cancer for 10 years. He has a lot of similair experiences that Ted has gone through. He laughs and makes fun of the dieses because that is all you can do. If your looking for something different, check it out of the library.

Well i'll post if anything changes. He wants to go back to work so bad, even for a few hours. He likes what he does and he just wants everything to go back to normal. I'm not sure I know what Normal is anymore.
