Tuesday Update

To update those who do not know, John goes in the morning to have a port placed in his chest. On Thursday we go for the first round of chemo. He will have 3 rounds of IV chemo 3 weeks apart, in between he will be taking oral chemo. We expect to schedule his surgery around August 14 which will probably take place at Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, AZ. Following surgery, the plan is to repeat the chemo process another 3 times, 3 weeks apart.

He is tired but is up to the task. The doctor informed us not to expect severe side effects from the treatment. I sure hope he is right. We are taking it one day at a time.

That is all for now.
