Good morning,
The Captain and I cannot believe it has been only one week today that we began the chemo treatments. As always The Captain tackled this hurdle with courage and determination all week. We had a wonderful weekend and Easter! The Easter Bunny brought gifts of family, laughter, no major side effects and of course candy! A couple of minor side effects have developed which the Captain's Wife will not complain about is his sensitivity to cooking odors, smells and noise. So she has decided that she shall not cook any meals, clean our home or make any noises that will upset The Captain!
We are enjoying Cape Cod; reading "The Herald" at the beach whenever possible, watching the boats being launched at Allen Harbor, and seeing the osprey make their new nests (one of The Captain's favorite past times).

Thank you all for "blogging." The Captain has enjoyed reading and re-reading every one. We appreciate your continued prayers and support.

As you may know, the Pan Mass Challenge will be held on August 1 and 2 this year.
A bicycling team has been entered in honor of The Captain called the "The Captain's Crew." All donations from this event will be given to Dana Farber. Please log on to http://www.pmc.org/TT0120
for further details and fund raising events.
