Wrap and Rewrap

Yesterday, Jim visited the dermatologist to have his wrap redone.  So far, the experts feel this process is working as hoped.   Jim now has three weeks of topical chemo treatment under his belt... or glove, as the case may be.  Next Tuesday, the dermatologist will examine his skin and decide if four weeks will suffice or if a few more weeks of treatment are needed.  When this hand is finished, we will get a brief reprieve while his hand heals.  Then we will begin again with the left hand.  

Jim said he is doing ok.  This process has been completely exhausting, but not unbearable.  Itching tends to be his major complain right now.  He said it isn't burning, just horribly itchy.
