Didn't post last night as the Benedryl was pull hard on the eye lids!

We started out the day with a trip to see Dr. Nemechek, another good doc, been pretty lucky in this area! We talked for awhile and I filled him in on everything then I got my nose numbed again...terrible feeling! He took a good look at Bill through the fiber optics and even let Andrea take a look at him, she thought that was pretty cool! He agreed with Dr. Dickey and Dr. Reznick's analysis and informed us that he will not be doing surgery on either of the boys. They will both be taken care of with RT and Erbitux.

We headed over the RMCC - Parker next for my first dose of Erbitux. This was a base dose to get things started so it was a big one and took 2 hours. I got the Benedryl first to help fight off any allergic reactions I might have. Didn't have any! We grabbed some dinner on the way home, ate, and then I crashed on the couch. Woke up with a major head ache that we thought was from the way I was laying. Took something and off to bed to wake up around 3:30 with an even bigger head ache, I'm pretty sure at this point I was dehydrated. Felt like one of those very late nights with way way way to much booze and cigarettes...throbbing if I blinked my eyes! That is one of the side affects...wish I had drank more before I slept!

Thursday we are off to the Radiology Oncologist and get things scheduled and planned out.
