This month has been crazy. I think May is pretty hectic for everyone, right? Graduations, weddings, birthdays, Mother's Day, Memorial Day, swimming lessons, Regional & State Track meets, Chemo treatments...[...]
Wednesday, May 4th, Mike checked back into North Kansas City Hospital to start this new ICE chemo regimen. We were both pretty nervous, much like the very first time he received chemo. We didn't know what to expect. Mike was never really nauseated from the R-EPOCH, so we weren't sure if that would be the same this time. He started out with a 2 hour infusion the first day, and that was it. Day 1 was easy, and we were grateful! That evening I went out to dinner with Megan, the oncology nurse that I've become friends with. It was a wonderful evening to get out, and talk to someone that has been through all of this before. She has been a key player for me. When we walked into the hospital room that morning, she had a print framed for me with the quote I had written on my last blog. Mike was appreciative that she made me cry so early in the day. I'll never be able to repay her for her kindness and friendship during these uncertain and emotional days.[...]
