Chemo-Cycle 4, Day 2

Michael didn’t finish his first treatment up until 5:00 this morning. They started his hydration at 3:00 pm yesterday, but did not actually begin the chemo meds until 8:00pm. He didn’t really have any side effects from Day 1.

They did draw his blood this morning and his counts are going down. The doctors said this morning they will more than likely end this cycle early. Normally they don’t draw blood on day 3, but they will get his blood counts in the morning to see where his counts are at to see if we they will do day 3.

Since they didn’t actually start the chemo meds until 8:00 last night, they didn’t want to start them again until this evening. He started his hydration around 6:00 and the chemo meds around 8:00. If they give the meds to close together, it would make him sick. His fatigue is beginning to set in and he hasn’t had any nausea so far today. He still has a few hours to go tonight for his treatment. He more than likely will not be done until around 5 in the morning.

I will give an update tomorrow. Thanks for everyone keeping us in their prayers.
