Yesterday was a big day. We had a 9:30 appointment with the doc. Long story short, they are doing everything to help us get some chemo and make that flight to Australia Nov 1st. At first they wanted us to postpone our trip but our gut reactions was to go....so an angel appeared by the name of Tracie. She is a tall haolie supervisor nurse who talks fast and works fast. Awesome. She sat us down and went over everything from how this cocktail of folfirinox works and all the side affects. How chemo is scheduled and what to do if... Doc would like a pet scan before treatment begins if time allows. First chemo starts on Thursday at Pali Momi. So grateful they could do it there. Six hours there then we come home with a fanny pack full of chemo and the treatment continues at home. On Sat Rich goes back to Pali Momi, they take the fanny pack and we will do this again after we get home. No time to insert a port but for now put a picc line was placed in Rich's arm to administer the chemo. Rich went shopping at Whole Foods for some organic greens and I went to work. To bed by 9:30.
Rich is still sleeping and I don't plan on waking him up anytime soon. The doc is giving him a booster shot the Sunday before we leave as to help his immune system for our trip.
Our trip will be simple. A few days at Sydney to do the tourist stuff, then to catch a train for Ayers Rock. No need to see the beaches, we have our own thank you. We have pretty good train passes so as time allows, we will see what we can.
