Halfway...

Today is halfway! David is doing well overall. His doctor was pleased today with how well he has done so far. His lymph nodes weren't palpable again today! His blood counts are good and side effects are still minimal. His hair is thinning, but it is not noticeable. Some will be on his pillowcase in the morning, but that's about it. Looking at him, you wouldn't know. He has had some mild nausea in the last week and today at treatments he is experiencing more than he has in past chemo treatments. Other than that he is tolerating most of it very well. It takes him a few more days each time to get to feeling more like himself. This and that fact that he never really felt sick before are the most frustrating things for him to deal with.

After today he will have 4 treatments left; two in May and two in June and then be done with chemo. From there he'll have radiation. We don't have any firm details on that. From what I have read I expect he with have somewhere between 10-20 radiation treatments. They only take 10minutes and are everyday so it will take a lot less time to complete that part. So we are hoping to be done with all this in August!

Also, for those who haven't heard, we are pregnant, expecting a baby on Dec. 1, 2008. David and I are both thrilled, very excited and looking forward to meeting him/her. I feel OK for the most part. I have much more nausea than David (which we laugh about all the time) but it should be getting better in the next few weeks. We are 9 weeks this week and have an ultrasound on Friday morning. We are hoping to scan the pictures in so we can share them!
