Starting chemo at Huntsmans

December 7

Well today is the day Cody starts the Trial drug.  As much as we are going to miss the group down in Provo we hope and pray that this drug will help him in his journey.  Cody is the first patient to enter this trial not just here at the Huntsman Cancer Hospital, but around the country.  They have a possible second candidate in another facility, but as of right now he is the only one.  I guess we can look at this several ways. 1. He will have everyone attention focused on him or 2. Are we just nuts going into this will out knowing the true side affects. 

The one thing we do know is the facility up here is very nice.  As you can see every patient gets their own recliner chair with their own T.V.  



We were so grateful to get started on something this past month Cody was driving us all nuts.  I think the not doing anything to treat his Cancer was driving him nuts.  He knew we had to do the wash out time, but he was going crazy.  I was about to tell the Dr. that if we didn't get started with something soon then hook him up to just saline and tell him that its chemo haha.  No I couldn't even imagine what he is going through. 
Well now the journey begins.  fingers crossed that things go well and this will help the journey along.
