My husband got his first chemo treatment yesterday...

It was allllll day long. The funny part is that they sent him home with some sort of med in a needle to use tonight. They told him to be careful with it since it cost around $2,000. You should have seen us.........we carried that thing around like it was a bomb that could go off at any time.

Hope all goes well with chemo honey......love to you both!  Prayers will continue!!

There were soooooooo many Viet Nam vets in there with him, all being treat for lymphoma, different stages, different types, but all related to Agent Orange. When they first told us that, we couldn't believe it since that was over 40 years ago!! I urge all VN vets on here.....PLEASE get checked out, they tell us we got this on the early side and wouldn't have caught it if he hadn't had the CAT scan for the abdominal aneurysm.

So glad they caught  it, and you know I will be praying for him..  Tony had T-Cell Lymphoma, and was doing great with his cemo.
Hugs,
Mom

I hate that he has it but I am glad they caught it early. Prayers and best wishes to you all.

Mrs PV and I understand about the expensive drugs.  Her best friend is going through chemo for breast cancer and her apres chemo drug is $4,000 a shot.

Keeping you and your husband in our prayers
