The best case scenario continued to come true. Susan had her chemo (in a very plush infusion room) right on schedule. We left for Hobby airport exactly one hour before our flight was scheduled to leave, and despite cutting it close we made it on the 12:40 with a few minutes to spare. The flight itself was relatively smooth and not as noisy as we expected from David's description (it was a propjet Brasilia and we were in the row that lined up with the engines). Judy Hewlett was waiting for us at the airport and we got home by 3 PM (thanks Judy!!).
So far Susan has had minimal side effects from the new drug. She's a little tired and slightly nauseous at the moment, but is lying down and taking it easy for the next half hour or so. On the whole it was a very successful trip indeed, and once again we thank you for your prayer support. Next week, we get to do it all over again. Our plan is to fly down Tuesday afternoons, have the necessary blood draw Tuesday evenings, then do chemo at 8 AM on Wednesdays, and take the 12:40 flight back.
