Yesterday and today are the first time that Peter has had very uncomfortable side effects. Even while his counts were very low, he could still work from home and only had minimal discomfort. He is now experiencing nausea, mouth sores, and pain in his legs. The doctors and nurses have assured us both that these are normal considering the amount of total body irradiation and the fact that he has gone through 3 days of very strong chemotherapy. He will probably feel much worse before he gets better. On the bright side, he still has all his hair, for now.
He really enjoys getting cards in the mail. The address is posted on this blog. If you live in the area and would like to visit, late morning and early afternoon are probably the best times to visit. Please call before visiting.

Tell Peter we are pulling for him, and he is in our thoughts and prayers. I opened the shutters in the dining room, I don't think the flowers were getting enough light. This is a great way to let people know how Peter is doing. Hang in there Wendy!!! Roger and Betty
