As all of you know, today was Dave's weekly treatment at The James. We arrived bright and early and ready to go! I'm quickly learning to plan as though we are going on a camping trip. Today I packed a cooler (pregnant women don't leave the house without snacks:), a pillow, and enough schools projects to keep me busy throughout the day. At one point I had nurses and other staff members helping me trace, cut, and color various bulletin board decorations for Oak Creek. I love a good day of multi-tasking!
Dr. Blum started off the day with her standard exam of Dave's lymph nodes. She believes they are still shrinking, but not as quickly as after the first treatment. This is what she predicted would happen at Dave's last treatment. Dave will have a Petscan next Monday morning to evaluate the lymph node response up to this point. We should know these results next Wednesday.
Dave continues to tolerate treatment well. Other than being incredibly sleepy from the Benadryl they put in his IV, he didn't have any other symptoms. He even went to work out this evening!
All in all, today was uneventful and frankly, we are okay with that. :) Next week will be very busy for us. As I said earlier, Dave has a Petscan Monday. On Tuesday, we meet with the bone marrow transplant specialist. On Wednesday, he has treatment. On Thursday, we go to my doctor to check on Marshall and somewhere in the middle of all of that I am starting back to school! Like I said, sometimes uneventful is good!
