Al's surgery went well this morning. His port is in place now. I guess that means he really does have cancer. His surgery started at 7:30 and we didn't get out of there until 10:00. He dozed on the couch until we had to leave for the afternoon appoinment. They do plan on giving him chemo weekly instead of the 3 sessions. They are also going to use the Ethyol (or Amifostine). They don't think it will interfere with his rare blood disorders. Oh, and he needs to bring in a urine sample on Monday. Something came back about his kidneys. Let's hope there isn't a problem.
It's been an emotional day. It's really sinking in for both of us. We're going to enjoy a nice dinner here shortly and try and have a good weekend. Monday is when treatment begins and he'll be getting chemo on Tuesdays.
