We arrived here at HUP last night around 8:30 p.m. Things got off to a bit of a rocky start here. Instead of accessing his port, the needle was placed incorrectly. Richard ended up with a pocket of fluid on the right side of his chest (just saline, not chemo). It wasn't really painful for him, just awkward. They had to access him through his hand to give him fluids last night. The swelling went down by this morning, and they were able to reaccess his port today for the chemo. He should start chemo soon. It's been ordered so we are just waiting on the pharmacy to get it mixed and sent up here. Everything else should go as scheduled. We'll keep you updated!

Hi Richard and Daphne:
I just read all the updates from end of July to now. I was out of commission with some surgery and then vacation. Richard, you hand in there. It will soon be all over and you will be feeling good. You are probably right, the end of the chemo sessions are the hardest because you want it all over with but it will be over soon. I loved the pictures of your house. Thanks for the updates and pictures. I was sorry to hear about Peter. I hope he is doing okay. Please also keep us updated about him. Richard and Daphne, I am so proud of the both of you and how you handled all of this. What a team!!! You are a onderful couple. Hope to see you soon. If there is anything you need or I can do, please call me.
Take care and my prayers are with you all.
Jody
