Second Chemo

Dave had his second round of chemo last Thursday. At the beginning of the first drug, Taxol, Dave started have a reaction. They stopped the drug and gave him Benedryl and a steriod, had him rest for 30 minutes and started again. He tolerated the rest of the dose at a slow rate. This means they will have to give it slow from now on, which just makes the day a little longer. Joni shaved Dave's hair to about 1/4 inch on Sunday. It's been falling out and Dave says "that means the drugs are working". Yesterday the Oncologist called to say a Chest Xray on Friday showed the tumors are smaller. We have to wait for the CT Scan in 2 weeks to tell the exact size, so we are cautiously ecstatic. Dave is tired but doing pretty well.

So, there it is. Our first blog. Wow.
