My wife wrapped up chemo last week. Every Wednesday I went to Oncology for her infusion. On the way home I'd grab her a sandwich (NY Sub) and take her home. Then I'd head in to work for a few hours. In some ways I looked forward to spending the day with her and I suppose that bodes well for our future.

A few observations on this whole process so far:
1.We're six months into this since getting the diagnosis. The not knowing is the hardest part.
2.It is incredibly remarkable how many options there are to take care of all the side effects. They worked hard to manage pain, nausea, heart troubles etc. Years ago my wife was dealing with some undiagnosed auto-immune disease and the professionals were absolutely at a loss and how to treat everything. Cancer treatment is almost completely opposite.
3.One of the early treatments, my wife was pretty stressed out and a volunteer came by and offered healing touch. It's some really weird massage that has very little touching. They actually run their hands above your body without touching for parts of it. Sometimes they play some music. Seriously it's weird but if nothing else, the thought of it helped my wife chill out...the mind is fascinating.
4.Oncology nurses are angels.
5.One of the hard parts is not getting to ahead of myself. I am certain my wife will get through this and I know that chemo is some nasty stuff and sometimes I'd find myself worried about being alone. This is the kind of thing that you really have to take day by day and not get too far ahead of yourself. I am really greatful for my faith.

Next up is surgery, then radiation. Today we got the post chemo imaging results back and the original tumor is virtually gone!
