Today Bill had his first chemotherapy treatment. He will be doing CVP once every three weeks for an undetermined time. Basically this involves a couple of hours at the clinic receiving an IV drip of two chemo drugs (the C and the V) and then 7 days taking Prednisone pills followed by two weeks of no cancer drugs.
The people at the clinic were friendly and efficient, and Bill and I came loaded with books, newspapers, and puzzles, so the time went by pretty quickly (at least for me). Bill's a trooper and took it all in stride, and I know he'll do well because he is otherwise in such great physical shape. Just getting treatment started is a breakthrough, and it helps us move forward. With biking and gardening and family and friends, Bill has a lot to keep him positive and happy as he works through his treatment.
