Today is a milestone day -- Todd is well enough to start his first chemo treatment today!
While this is by no means an easy road to travel, a lot of things are going our way:
-- a paracentesis is planned in the next couple of days to remove abdominal swelling
-- a nerve block will be performed on or before Wednesday, which will relieve a lot of pain
-- and of course, chemo has commenced, which is our first step in removing the cancer.
Todd remains at Sloan and we expect him to be discharged on Wednesday. The care here has been great. The nurses are attentive and caring. The food is delicious. The visitors have all been super cool. ;)
Love - Michelle
