Fourteenth chemotherapy...

Dalen fourteenth chemotherapy treatment went okay. I tried something different to see if I could get dalen to not feel so sad before treatment. I suggested that we did not apply the numbing cream over the port. For some reason when I pull the cream from the bag, Dalen gets in this depressing mode. Nothing is good enough and he just once to go home. However, not applying the cream worked. He cracked jokes all the way to the clinic. As Nurse Mimi went to insert the needle to his port, Dalen felt a pinch but was still laughing and joking around. I suggested that we don't use the cream any more but Dalen said maybe. As usual he went to sleep during treatment. He only had to do one chemo drug last Thursday. Of course he was excited, especially when he found out that it wasn't vincristine. However, He woke up with the instant stomach pain...for the next two weeks Dalen will be off of chemo but he will still have to visit the clinic for lab test on Thursday. Please continue to pray for him, the external view is not always the internal view.
