One more chemo treatment done!

One more chemo treatment done! Robert lost a 1/2 pound this week weighing in at 170.5. That does not give him any extra weight going in to this round of chemo. This is the bad stuff that will make him really sick, but hopefully now we will be better equipped if the thrush sets in, which I suspect it will. Seems he gets it every time he takes the Cystplatin and Taxotere. His hair is still falling out and after yesterday's chemo it will not be long before he looks like the butternut squash I bought yesterday at the Farmers Market. Good news, Dr. Nadler will scan him in 3 weeks to see how the cancer is reacting to the chemo.

Robert got a very nice surprise yesterday. His cousin Keith showed up during chemo for a visit. It really made Robert's day pass very quickly and he said it was just the boost he needed to lift his spirit. Keith, we can not tell you how much that meant to us for you to take the time out of your long drive to stop by and spend a couple of hours, hope you made it to Odessa safely.

Michael came yesterday and him and I spent the day together running around. He took me to a Mediterranean restaurant for lunch. It was alright, but it would not be my choice again. I was not real sure about most of the things we ate. When we got back to the hospital, he was telling Robert what we ate, and he said "we ate Lamb", I said "no I did not" and he assured me I did. Well then I was sick the rest of the day.. Yuck. I told Michael I felt like I was jipped out of a meal.. Michael and I went over to the the Farmers market for fresh vegetables and fruit, I love that place, except for everyone trying to shove samples down you that they have cut up with those nasty old rusty knives.. Neither one of us was brave enough to try anything. I am looking forward to going back next week for more goodies. Thank God for the little things, huh?

Thanks to all for your support and prayers. Love to all, Robert and Judy
