Another weekend has flown by. Kavan's beloved Oilers opened their season with a victory and he was most excited. Tomorrow he will attend the home-opener with his Dad and I don't think I've ever heard him speak so much about hockey. How many more games in the season?

Today Kavan had his one-day cycle of chemotherapy. He received doxyrubicin, vinecristine and cyclophosphamide. So far today he's been feeling relatively well. A little light headed but no major nausea at this time. He's getting pretty good at knowing what will trigger nausea with his chemotherapy regimen (generally it's been overeating!). One nice thing about him having chemotherapy on Mondays is the people that are available to visit him at the Cross Cancer Institute. I do not have scheduled classes on Mondays and therefore I was able to visit for a couple of hours. As well, my father teaches at the University on Mondays and so today they were able to have a nice visit. I think Kavan really does appreciate any visitors, just another something to help take your mind off of things.
Tomorrow Kavan will have the day off from work to recuperate. His employer has generously given him more days off following treatment to recover. I can't say enough how impressed I am with the compassion they have shown throughout this whole ordeal. It truly is wonderful to know that such compassion still exists within the business world.

On Wednesday Kavan will have MORE scans. I believe it will be another MRI and a CT scan. So again, let's all cross our fingers and send well-wishes Kavan's way! Have a good week!
