Eric started his first course of chemotherapy today. The plan now is to do 3 courses (over 3 months) instead of 2.
It was quite a long day – but relatively relaxed and uneventful (if not a tad boring). We arrived at 08:30 and were out of the hospital by 3:00 (stopping for a bite to eat in the cafeteria on our way out).

The next 3 days shouldn’t be quite as time consuming (as extra time was taken today with everything being explained to us, documentation/instructions provided – plus Eric chose to keep the IV line in so he won’t have to have to be jabbed every morning.

Multiple prescriptions (to combat possible side effects) have been provided – and we’re optimistic that Eric will handle the treatment as well as he has everything else thus far. Also, thanks to generous donations, he’ll be able to have the delux $3,500 anti-nausea injection on (I believe) the last day (for that price it should certainly be effective!)

Special thanks to Eric’s cousin, Lourdes Jorge from Cambridge – who hosted a fundraising buffet on February 5th – and raised over $2,400! Thanks to Lourdes – and to everyone who enjoyed a great meal for a great cause!
