Joe started chemo today. He's doing good considering everything. He was there from 10:30-2:45. He has the pack on him for the next 48 hours. It's called the wolf pack. It's worse than a Hangover :) He is nauseous, has tingling in his hands, has sensitivity to cold and any food that is not fairly bland (even tried mustard and couldn't take it) and is "just out of it" as Joe says. They told us it will get worse for the next few days, but hopefully start getting better after that. Thursday he will have the small intestine test and his tissues are heading to California for extensive testing. They said it will take weeks to get the results. We'll just keep praying this chemo treatment starts to work while they figure out the source. He still has that amazing attitude thanks to all our family and friends. The letter box is overflowing, we received an amazing basket of all his favorites from Honeywell and the most beautiful picture quilt I've ever seen. He just can't believe the outpouring of kindness. This world is a wonderful place.
Thanks again to everyone for all your love, support, prayers and generosity.
XOXO
Sherrie & Joe
