Well, we're back again at Methodist Hospital for Troy's last round of Chemo. Just playing the hospital waiting game. We are finally settled into our room and the dreaded IV has b
een started after the second try. They haven't started the chemo yet, but we know from experience that it takes several hours for the first round of Cisplatin and then he will have to have 4 rounds of 5-FU and each one of those takes 24 hours. That means that the sooner they start, the better our chances to get out of here at a decent hour on Friday. We are nervous about this time because the radiologist said that this round of chemo would be more difficult. I just hope Troy doesn't get too sick and feel too bad.We are happy to be back on the Cell and Gene Therapy and Bone Marrow Transplant Floor. The rooms are all private and the staff is great. We were hoping to have a room here again. It sure makes it easier for me to stay here with Troy and be able to go to work, etc.

Well - here we are hours later and they finally started the Cisplatin at 5:00 PM. We are st
ill playing the hospital waiting game. He's not really as sad as he looks, I think he's just tired of me taking his picture! He just finished eating a whole BLT with chips. I'm glad he has an appetite right now and that he is able to eat! Dr. Jac (his oncologist) was just here and he was pleasantly surprised that Troy was eating so well. We were definitely encouraged by that.
