Good day today. First stop was a bandage change from the catheter that was inserted yesterday. All looked good, although the area around the surgery is still sore. We were also taught on the ins and outs of covering up the catheter when I am taking a shower. That is definitely going to be a 2-person job.

Next up was a bit like old home week. My chemo infusion was delivered in the clinic where I had received all my previous CAR T treatments. The staff was excited to see and spent a fair amount of time visiting and catching up with Sharon and me. It very much made us feel like we are a part of the Fred Hutch family, and as I have commented they are invested in my care and cure.

The actual chemo infusion was uneventful. I received a dose of an antifungal medication as a preventive measure given that in 2019 I had a fungal pneumonia and subsequent lung issues.

The weather is beautiful and warm once again. The chemo did not stop me from our usual 3-mile walk this afternoon.

Tomorrow I repeat the process here and in Chicago my brother Dave begins his prep.

Hope you are planning an enjoying Memorial Day weekend. I will be watching the Indy 500 from my treatment room. Even though the cars go round and round making only left turns, it is mesmerizing to me.

Be well,

Larry and Sharon
