During the first course of treatment

We admit to the hospital getting all kind of prep ready. At 9:30pm chemotherapy finally start. Full body scan had performed just to be sure there isn't anywhere else in his body has anymore cancer cell found. Keep our finger across the report is negative and normal. We had to salute our oncology Dr. Picozzi. He participate in the pancreatic cancer research study. As mentioned previously this is consider a rare case of carrying two different type of cancer cells in his pancreas. The adenocarcinoma and neurondocrine. Doctor mentioned will invent a new medication to treat his conditions. He will named this research using my husband name " Patrick's program " At this point we see some bright side and hope ahead. My husband might have a chance to try out new trail medication if it comes available. The chemo using four different drug infusion. Some take as fast as half an hour, the longest one take 8 hours. There is also pre-med taken before this chemo. Such as anti nausea medication and prevent blood clog med. I know he is a bit nervous today, having me by his side. It will give him more comfort to sleep through the night.
