Finished 1st chemo treatment, two more to go

Last week, I was in the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania for 96 continuous hours of chemo transfusion. I was invited to stay longer due to some complications (pain, swelling, etc.) but opted to decline.

I return in 4 more weeks for the same one week in-hospital treatment. This week I have three checkups. This morning I got a white blood cell transfusion (shot in the abdomen) and have two more checkups with the chemo doc and the radiology doc.

The last in-hospital chemo treatment will be in late August/early September. Then I turn 61 and hope to celebrate by participating in a cowboy shoot.

You do get a lot of meds in hospitals, but not much sleep ...
