First Treatment

We arrived at Moffitt this morning at 810am 20 minutes ahead of schedule. The drive from South Tampa is easier than expected. Jim and I are happily caffinated thanks to Donna (sisterella). Bunny is looking very chic in her Juicy Couture warm up and her only complaint is that she is thirsty. She wasn't allowed to eat or drink anything after midnight. The facility here is beautiful and everyone is very accommodating. We were greeted by Mark Wright who is going to make sure everything goes smoothly. (Thank you Rebecca) We just walked down a hall with 3 Sol Lewitt paintings to the Gold Waiting room for family members. Pretty impressive for a hospital! She is getting her port and will have her first infusion at 1030am.


The port went in easily and she was up and eating graham crackers with peanut butter within minutes. We went almost immediately to the infusion center where they hooked her up with the handy new port and gave her the miracle cure Gemzar. She says she will only need one treatment because it will all be gone after this. We may not need to go back next Monday. She feels great and of course looks even better. Enjoy the photos!
