Got back from our Sitka fishing trip on Sunday evening. We had a good trip. The weather was amazingly great! Sunny every day for the most part. Not too much wind. Robin didn’t get seasick!

We caught a lot of salmon, a little halibut, a few yelloweye rockfish, and a ton of Black Sea bass.

Darrel started his new chemo regimen today. The first infusion took about an hour and a half. The second one is through a pump for the next 2 days. We go back in on Thursday to get it removed. They will show me how to do it then so we don’t have to go in to have it done in the future.

To keep the nausea & vomiting down, he was given dexamethasone (steroid) today along with the ondansetron anti-nausea medicine. He has to take both twice a day for the next 2 days. The steroids have their own unpleasant side effects, so will have to be watching for those – sleeplessness and ‘roid rage’ are 2.

We just got home and he isn’t having any problems with anything yet, so that is good. We don’t go back again for 2 weeks now for the 2nd treatment.

Until we know more about how this is going to affect Darrel, hold off for 24 hours on the calls unless you email first, in case he is sleeping. Thanks!
