DOT 2 Day -5

Today was a good day with the chemo and no reactions so far. This week is also one of my favorites as it is "Master's Week!". I got to see a lot on my iPad through streaming video and that helped the time pass. Not much better than some Augusta National to pass the time! This week is master week with some chemo, not chemo with masters week. Masters wins!

John is doing well in Wilmington. He started his shots this morning with 2 shots in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. We thought it would be one, but they split them up in smaller doses so he needs two each time he gets a dose. Hopefully his pain will be manageable for the next few days.

They are doing two new things this go around. One is the addition of radiation to prepare for the transplant. Another is a replacement for my immunosuppressmet drug I take every day. I will now take two different ones and drop the cyclosporine. Prograf, twice a day,and cell cept, three times a day will be the drugs. Hopefully these will help the graft come in.

So tomorrow is day -4. Laura is doing good and we grilled a good hamburger out tonight. With the weather better, we hope to use the grill more.

Thanks for all the support! It really makes a huge difference!
