Round Three Day One

We arrived at the Hunstman today at about 11:30 am. We had a short visit with Dr. Gouw. He said he had looked at the scans from last week and was not overly anxious about the amount of growth in the tumors in the lungs. He is pretty hopeful that this new cocktail of Doxrubicyn, Cisplatin, and Aidriomycin will be successful. The way he has dosed it the chemo will only run for 48 hours. That was awesome news! We had expected to be here until Friday evening or Saturday morning but it looks like we will be done by Wednesday night or early Thursday.

Trent was telling the nurses that we were going to be here for our anniversary in hopes that we could get one of the suites. But no such luck. It is really busy here this week so we had to settle for a room with an amazing view of the whole Salt Lake Valley. Boo Hoo. It will not be a very romantic day but at least I will be with him ALL DAY! I don't think that has every happened on an anniversary yet!

We had some funny nurses in here tonight. Somehow they both ended up singing the theme song for "The Muppett Show" for us and one of them was even doing a little jig. Slightly weird but pretty funny. I think Trent brings it out in them. He just called the nurse back in and asked for another song and dance. What a goofball!

Everyone here is so nice to us. We are getting to know the staff and that is fun. Trent is always teasing everyone. Kelsey in Clinic E thinks he is stalking her-not really but they joke about it. She is the one who hooked us up with the super long couches for a nap a couple of weeks ago. Now whenever we see her she asks if it is naptime again. Then today a resident came in to see Trent. While he was doing his examination he was really massaging to feel the lymphnodes in Trent's neck and chest. Trent asked him if he needed him to lean forward so he could massage his back too. I am not sure the guy knew what to think about that but Trent thought it was funny.

The chemo has started and I am sure these fun times are going to be gone for a while. I just hope that it is not as bad as the first two rounds. Chemo is not fun but Trent sure is!
