I don't wamt to be too negative, so I will give you the highlights. I am bright pink. I look like I have a sun burn all over my body. They told me it is one of the side effects, They also told me if I don't feel like eating don't or I will throw up, I could have used that information for breakfast. For Lunch I had a banana, and some orange flavored italian ice. It was really nice. I taked to my wife for a minute and her and the kids are holding up nicely. I worked a little from my computer today. And what I saw, made me cry. The people I work with are awesome. They have donated leave to me so I wont need to worry about the stay in the hospital. Thankyou very much do those who have done so, There will be a special place in my prayers for you. I am coming up on my seventh dose for the treatment. They would ideally like to get 11 doses this week. I am trying to be as helpful as possible during this whole process to get as many doese as I can. The say sometimes the body just doesnt cooperate. So I will do my best. I have been walking the halls every day at least two times around the loop. The second loop is getting really hard to do. But i wll keep trying because, the doctors told me it will help dramatically. I have gained almost 15 pounds in water weight. It gets realy hard to walk. I will update you when I have some more things to share.
Thanks and have a lovely day.
Andy

Andy, I have been thinking about you and your family all night so I got up to read your blog. It sounds like you are hanging in there. We miss you at work and I can't tell you how many people come in and ask about you and how your are doing. Alan is on vacation and of course Nicole is gone. I will be glad when you return. You are constantly in my thoughts and prayers. Hang in there and please let me know if there is something I can do for you and your family. Thanks for keeping us posted on your blog. I hope your day goes well. Love, Kathy
Dear Anonymous,
In response to your comment to Andy - "Now you know how pregnant women feel." Well, I have been through both chemotherapy AND pregnancy/childbirth. I know for a fact that there is no comparison what-so-ever. I'm sure you meant your comment to be light-hearted, however, fighting for your life while being made to be violently ill is nothing like being pregnant.
All my best to you Andy. I am a 17
year cancer survivor. You can do this. We are all behind you with our thoughts and prayers! ;-) S
