Yes!! He did it! Chemo #5 is now officially checked off of the list! It was a long day, it took about 8 1/2 hrs! We had our own "chemo room" which was nice and private. It had a TV, but no cable, only DVD's and NO internet! That does make for an even longer day! He did really well, until about 2:00 pm when he started to feel full and that's when he just wanted to throw up! AND he did, a few times!
BUT, on the way home he wanted pizza, which Jim ordered for us so when we got home he was able to eat! He feels really good now, so let's hope with the help of the new "patch" for nausea, which costs $300 (crazy) that he will feel even better! He goes back tomorrow for that shot (costs $6,600, even more crazy) that renews his white blood cells AND we only have to go the facility in Westlake! YAY! Which means no traffic!
Vince said he can't wait to ride his bike! So, I'm hoping in the next few days that he is able to get out and enjoy some of this beautiful California sunshine on a glorious Memorial Day weekend! For all our family, friends, and blog-a-holics, I hope you have a wonderful weekend remembering all those who have served our country and fought for our freedom!
Thank you for all your emails and prayers for Vince, we feel so blessed!
"For even I, the Son of Man, came here not to be served but to serve others, and to give my life as a ransom for many."
Matthew 20:28
