As dans wife who has DLBCL and not technically a club member I still would like to join in. My first chemo last tues went ok I guess. Slept for a few days but today that prednisone buzz I heard about kicked in. Had a wonderful day at the Peoria, ILL zoo with my son wife and 3year grandson. Pictures pictures pictures we took. Best day ever since this journey started for us. Busy week coming up bless you all n thanks for letting me vent.

Your day at the zoo sounds great! I'm glad you let us know how it's going for you. I've thought of you both often. You are every bit as much a member as Dan, so don't ever hesitate to share. Good luck to you.

Re: First chemo down the drain
You are more than welcome to join in! 
Glad that you had an enjoyable day at the zoo - I feel that it is important to do "normal" things for our own peace of mind especially whilst undergoing treatment. May you continue to do things that you enjoy.
Best wishes and please let us know how you are going.
