Playing Hardball II

I'm in the hospital again for round 2 of intense chemotherapy. 96 straight hours of chemotherapy administered through a PICC line that enters my body in the artery of my right arm and snakes it way to about an inch of my heart. I am in room 412 and can receive visitors. This is 23 days since the beginning of the first round. (June 12-16) Of all the horrific possible side effects that I could have experienced, hair loss and a few minor mouth sores were all that happened. I have had my first hospital meal and am thankful for the provision. I am also thankful that Velda is bringing me my meal this evening. ;) I am not as nervous this time having gone through this once already. I have no reports as to how the cancer has been affected because no tests were given in that respect. My kidneys are still near normal range which makes for the bone marrow transplant (BMT, the next step) to be a simple process. Please pray that this process does what is supposed to do which is to put the cancer completely in remission. The farther the cancer is in remission, the more effective the BMT will be. Thanks for praying and all the encouragement.
