First clinic appt today

They just left the first outpatient appointment and things are moving quickly. The bone marrow results are back and it's good news--- no sign of cancer there so we are a Stage 3. The doctors hope for the first chemo this week and believe he may get some relief from his symptoms following the first treatment. They will do the four part chemo we were told about twice and then redo the PET to see how the cancer is responding. If not responding as hoped, they would move to the German chemo that could have more side effects but also kill the bugger cancer cells. The docs don't think travel to and from San Francisco is going to work as chemo progresses, so we may need a back up place to stay near SFO. Time will tell. We are all anxious and nervous for chemo to start, but need to push through to get to the final treatment and be cured.
