Gosh, his positive attitude must go a long way in navigating all he has to go through! Good for him!

Hang in there you two!

Positive attitude is everything! My FIL survived pancreatic cancer for four years longer than his doctors told him he would. When I announced I was expecting his first grandchild, he said that he was going to live long enough to see her born (he did). Then he said he'd be there for her first Christmas, and her first birthday. The power of positive thinking let my FIL have the experience of being a grandparent.

2nd round of pre admit testing DONE.

Central line placed.
9 hour day of Chemo dose testing done.

Greg in good spirits.

Tuesday the 12th admit day.

Forward March.

Take care all.

Thinking of you and sending up prayers.

You sound very positive, Pat, so it must be good. I just wish I understood what it all means.

He's a beast!
Continuing to pray.

His mantra...the force is with him...lol.

He does not want to be anything but positive.

This central line with 3 lumens (sp?) for infusions, had him more freaked out than the thought of a bone marrow transplant. Go figure.

Keep a good thought that he gets assigned to the RED pod area of the transplant center...Greg is a huge Detroit Red Wings FAN, and that's where he wants to be.

Sending prayers and fingers crossed for the RED pod!
Glad to hear things are going so well.

Good to hear things are going well! A positive attitude goes a long way when it comes to things like this. Keeping you both in thoughts and prayers.

I need to take him as an example. Wonderful attitude. Thinking of you and family.

His attitude is amazing. I'm continuing to keep you both both in my thoughts and sending best wishes for a fantastic outcome. The force will keep him strong.

You both are just amazing. I love his "force" and I'm keeping the best of thoughts for that force for you both.

Thank you ladies.

There are those who would sit in a chair and feel total shut down, and then the other half who says let's get it done.
Greg is not so comfortable in that chair, figuratively and literally. He can't sit still. I wish I talked with his mom more, about what he was like as a kid. Greg shares some good memories.

On the other hand, I would be in the chair temporarily, and then I'd get moving. I have a different makeup then Greg.

So tomorrow is the day Greg goes in the hospital. Hope we are ready for this.

An old friend of mine sent me a little travel watercolor set with paper and instruction book...to help with all the waiting.

I think she thinks, I have hidden talent. I am a bit afraid of this set.

Use those watercolors.... just paint what you're feeling... you don't have to share it with anyone... then you can cut them up or stamp on them or put them in an art journal.... whatever you do... it'll keep your mind occupied!

The waiting is never fun.... so those watercolors will be a super diversion!
