Thursday June 25th

The CT scan results came back pretty positive, there is no sign of cancer anywhere else in the chest or abdomen! He is feeling better now, bandages are off the port. We went to talk to a chemo nurse practitioner yesterday and she explained the side effects and what might happen. He probably won't lose his hair but will most likely be fatigued. First chemo treatment is Tuesday June 30th. He will take Gemzar for one hour. We are not looking forward to it but know that it's necessary. He is moving around a lot better now and doing things around the house. Here's hoping for a quiet weekend coming up.

I can't believe Michael Jackson died today! Burt met him the one time when they set the Falling Star ride up on his Neverland Ranch. Always thought he was "different", but 50 is awful young to die! I expected the news about Farrah Fawcett, after watching her cancer documentary I am surprised that she held on as long as she did. I hope both rest in peace.
