New Year, New Adventures

Today's adventure beginan at Huntman Cancer Center with xray, Port access and blood draw. then we visited with the Drs. We talked about Chemo and Then about the progress that I am making with the arm. My arm is in good shape. I will continue physical therapy and keep trying to get more movement in it.

We moved to the 4th floor and found my room. we talked to drs and nurses to get admitted and learn about the plan Shane and I had a nice lunch together. At 2 o'clock we were ready to start chemo. I was surprised they hung 5 bags of fluids and medications. This stuff is on it's way to killing those cancer cells!
