And Thus Begins Round Two

It was a long day at the Cancer Center.  The radiation doctor was impressed with how good his lungs sounded and his general demeanor.  He said he could expect that the little cough he has developed would get worse.  He coughs especially when he laughs a lot, so we have to make sure not to expose him to too much humor.   :)   

He got the only private room in the clinic again because no one else needed it.  In fact he was the only patient in the whole place!  It was hard to find a good vein.  The nurse explained that his body protects itself from getting Chemo by blocking the previously used veins.  Unfortunately, this was explained to us after she tried a vein that "wouldn't take."  Ouch.  She found a better one in his left arm. 

We meet with the oncologist tomorrow.  The nurse indicated that the doctor has been talking about how he might need to go another round.  I can hope he won't need to, but it is good to have some time to brace myself.

I got some lunch from the hospital cafeteria when he ordered his lunch so we could have a little date, but he was kind of out of it, so he said he really couldn't classify it as a date.  He enjoyed channel surfing when he could stay awake.  He told the nurse that he was thankful for Chemo.  She said, "You might need an appointment with a therapist!"  ;-)

He is home resting and not complaining much and not coughing.  I think it went well.
