Treatment #1 went very well.

Jan: "It was a long day. We were there at 8am and left at 4:30pm.
Dr Byrd told us some news we had not heard before. The second tumor that was found is actually bigger than the one in his neck. That was a pretty big shocker, but the treatment plan and prognosis are still the same. Seeing the word CURE hand written and signed on his treatment plan made me very happy. Not shrunk, Not remission, CURE."

The 5 different medications are given one at a time. At some point, one of them made me very light headed, so they put in phenergan which pretty much knocked me out. I slept through most of the rest of the treatment.
After we got home we took a walk down to 5th and back. Both of our butts were really tired of being in a chair by then.
