Chemo starts again tomorrow

Joe starts his next round chemo tomorrow. They are also going to give him a new drug for his nausea which is called Marinol. This is a derivative of a specific narcotic that sounds a lot like the name....but doesn't have quite the effect that the real stuff does! We all found this a bit amusing as my Dad has told Joe he should be taking the real stuff for his pain a month or so ago. We all know Joe can be loopy enough at times without that kind of help! They will not be doing any testing until after another round so we are looking at a month before we can see what kind of results we are getting from this new medication.
