Another grueling day of "out-patient" treatment. Mostly all day in the clinic again for chemo and more phosphate. And we had the bad luck to leave at 5:00 again which is just torturous. To be anywhere in the general vicinity at rush hour is aggravating. And to be there tired and hungry from the hospital was worse (and i had spent all day on dental work, so neither of us were cheerful chipmunks).

He's due to go back Thursday for more labs (they test his blood), and then on Monday is the dreaded day ... another bone marrow biopsy. Of all of the stuff they've done to him so far, this was his least favorite, so he's really dreading another one. The first one where they discovered the cancer was probably just as terrible. But he was so sick then, that he didn't have the energy to resist the process. Now that he's got some of his fight back, he's not feeling so complacent about it.

But the point is to look inside the bones and see if they're doing what they're supposed to be doing and if the cancer is leaving. So as much as this sucks, he's going to be a big boy and get this horrible procedure over. Hopefully the Super Bowl will get his mind off of it for a few hours :-)
