Today ended up being a LOOONNNGGGG day at MD Anderson Clinic!  Jim had labs at 8:30 then a "toxicity" checkup with Dr. Dayanni's PA Michelle at 9:30, then up to the infusion lab for his chemo.  Because his potassium levels were so low, he had to have IV potassium which added an hour and a half onto his normal 4.5-5 hr clinic time.  Since I had Jim trapped, I got him to finally watch "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"!  He said if he was in a better mood it would have been a funny movie.    One of these days I'll convince him that it's a fun movie!

Luckily, not showing a lot of side effects this time around either.  Just a little bit of cold sensitivity which he had the last time.  It only happened once last round so he didn't even think about it this time.  Boy did those ice cubes and that bottle of ketschup teach him a lesson!!    Only other side effect right now is a little of the hand/foot syndrome.  His palms are turning a little redder than the last round so I'll keep an eye on that.  Don't want it getting worse and his hands/feet cracking open or him developing neuropathy and losing feeling. 

His appetite was good tonight.  Made him his favorite sandwich...eggs over easy, bacon and ketschup on a toasted bagel.  Messiest sandwich EVER but he loves it and they want him to get lots of protein after chemo.  Jim swears that bacon will be the cure for his cancer! 

Thank you again to everyone who has shown Jim support through donations, love and prayers.  It means a great deal to us both.

Love and blessings,

Jim and Sheri
