As of about 5:30 this afternoon I was admitted to Martha Jefferson for what is intended to be a four day chemotherapy treatment. The chemo type has been decided on - it's to be the EPOCH regimen. And I believe the assumption is that we're dealing with a Mediasteinal lymphoma.
I'm not entirely sure what all of this means, as I haven't had much chance to study it. I'll know more after I speak with the doctor tomorrow.
Not a whole lot else to report, I spent some time with the kids today while waiting for the admission. It was great spending time with them, but was a little too worn out to be of much fun.
Right now I'm hooked up (through my new port) to an IV drip. The idea is to hydrate me all night, and tomorrow AM I'll start the chemicals. My room overlooks pantops, so i might be able to see some fireworks tomorrow night. As for now, Jane just left and I'm watching the Sci-Fi channel Twilight Zone marathon. It's kinda cool to have TV, even for a little while.
