Happy Friday, Al.

Glad to hear the nausea pills help.

Please know that you are in our prayers. Take care.

Thank you both so much. You’ll never know just how much I appreciate your prayers.

Unfortunately I’m facing a double whammy with this. As you probably know, chemo destroys red blood cells and mine was already down to 6/20 when I started last Monday. That meant I had to take three units of blood and intravenous iron in addition to the chemo. I was hooked up to some kind of i.v. for 6 hours on Monday, 7 hours on Tuesday and 4 hours on Wednesday.

But by far the worst was the bone marrow test on Monday. That had this child screaming like a girlie-man. Don’t think I’ll ever take another one of those without being put to sleep.

Good thing is that I get two weeks off before the next round. However, I have to go for radiation next week. They are trying for a one-two punch. Here’s hoping that it is successful.
