Thank you everyone - Very good point Gary about the cleanliness of the gym itself. I will mention that. We are gearing up for round 2 of chemo this week - outpatient this time and I pray he does as well this time. He lost his hair over the weekend and it was a bit tougher on him than he thought it would be - had beautiful red hair - bought himself a red touke(sp) - it will grow back but its the first outward sign that something is going on. Couldn't decide whether to wear a cap into work - decided to go au natural.

People's reactions are kind of getting to us both. I get that our friends are scared - but neither of us need the crying... had 5 people at the grocery store look at me all scared and weirded out and then they started crying... I can only imagine it's worse for Ken.
