may 19

Not too much to report. Today Billy went for a PET scan. They put some chemical into him that makes him radioactive... nice.. He isn't allowed to "touch" anyone for 12 hours..It made him tired, and of course really hungry since he has been fasting. He is going Next Tuesday to get the "port" put in. This is some kind of device that they sew under your skin and has a catheter that goes into your veins. This will make the chemo enter him a little easier. (not a needle fan)
Wednesday will be the first round of chemo.. They say normally it takes around 4 hours, but the first one should be longer. They have to test a few of the drugs they put into him for allergic reactions before they can give him the full dose. Myself and Zilly will be tag teaming this appointment.
