Late appointment in the city today, so the traffic going in wasn't too bad. The ride in would have been better if we did not have to deal with pouring rain and 50 mph gusts of wind.
The port did not cooperate with a blood return today, so Pete got stuck in the back of his hand. We sat around waiting for the results so that he could get his new pump with the new supply of chemo. All his blood work looked fine. This pump will run 8 days to complete the full 16 day regimen. The nurse secured the needle and the loose end so it shouldn't come out like the first one did. That means it should be done next Thursday (or Friday) and he'll get his Neulasta shot on Friday (or Saturday).
Dr R stopped by and told him he'll be having the scans about 2 weeks after the Neulasta shot and the results will determine the next course of treatment: more chemo, radiation, surgery or some combination of these.
We came home in the early part of rush hour traffic. The next appointment is Friday.
