Tomorrow is the beginning of the next step. Ken goes to outpatient radiology to have a port put into the blood stream up near his clavicle. This allows the chemo to be infused directly into the blood stream without having a needle poked into the vein in the arm every time. Ken is pretty freaked out by cutting flesh. He is dreading the procedure and will be very relieved once it is done. We go to the hospital at 11:00a.m. The following Wednesday 4/9/08 Ken will begin receiving his chemotherapy.
Over the weekend Ken got a haircut that he said was in preparation for starting chemo. To let you know Reddin got a haircut with him.
Ken started back to work yesterday. He said that he was busy and that he was able to keep up with the work. He really has healed quickly from his second surgery. It has been such a blessing. He was able to get a new battery for my van this morning. He came in saying that he thought the battery weighed more than 15lbs. I hope that we remain careful even though Ken seems to be doing well.

We hope all went well with the port procedure! You should post a picture of Ken with his "short" haircut!! I think you should take Ken out to his favorite restaurant this weekend to get his fill of his favorite food before chemo starts. You are in our prayers.
Love, the Perrys
