Chemo starts Monday..

Diane took Cody to the clinic today. His numbers have risen enough to start chemo. She will be taking him in and up to the floor on Monday since it is a holiday. He should be finished on Friday. After his body recovers from that chemo he should be able to get the port... He is stoked about that.

Saturday morning we are leaving early and going to Baltimore. We are going to spend the day on a pirate ship. It sails out of Fells Point which right in Baltimore harbor. Need I say, "Cody is very excited about it. I will take plenty of pictures.

I did 5 miles this evening and I am back to my 8:30 average again. I'm feeling pretty good and I will start to bump the miles up very slowly. One thing I know for sure is that going too far too fast will almost guarantee an injury, especially for an old fart like me...

It didn't seem right with out JR &
June but it was fun. Going to bed
now and will check in later.

I can't wait to see the pix of Cody on a pirate ship. That's perfect. :-) Hope you all enjoy your weekend!

Glad his numbers are up to where he can move forward with his treatment...

Mickey, you had some stats here on your blog a while ago about funding levels for peds cancers vs other types of cancers. Could you list those again, please, or leave them as a comment on my blog? I'd like to reference those on my fundraising page for MSKCC. Thx!!
