City of Hope: The first day

Well, blood has been drawn, temperature and weight recorded and IV's hooked up...the new leg of the journey has begun! Todd received his first radiation treatment this morning and is doing well. He will get irradiated (scary word) two more time today and eight more times over the next 3 days. Then the chemo begins. He is going to feel pretty awful, but as his tweets/FB have said, Todd is ready for a fight!

I wanted to post the address here in case anyone wanted to send a card...

Todd Larsen
c/o City of Hope
1500 E. Duarte Rd.
Duarte, CA 91010-3000

Due to his soon to be immuno-compromised status please do not send fresh flowers, fruit...basically anything that was once alive or is currently alive :)

All our love,
Todd and Kelly
