I worked this morning by taking care of business, earning the money I make. I took Tony is for this new treatment they have for cancer, even in remission.
Its called Opdivo and its immune therapy and not chemo. It took only 45 minutes and the side effects are none, if any its diarrhea , and only 2 of 100 people had that problem.
But waiting for his CT scan took forever because I think the tech was an hour late. The good part is that its in the same building as the oncologist and I just walked the hall and told them we are here but still waiting for the CT, she was glad I came and as soon as it was over they took him on back, I am sure the waiting room full of people were not happy but they needed to hook him up, so he seen the doctor and got the opdivo at the same time.
He is asleep now and I feel like nap as well, those 5 hours of work was hard as in labor but hard as in driving, waiting and making sure he gets everything he needs before leaving that town.
How is your day going?

My day was pretty good but you have a lot more challenges to handle than I have. I wish you God's blessing!

I am not so sure it was his fault, I did hear about a wreck on one of the major highways
