Chemo Update ~

Chemo seems to be going pretty good for Michael this round. We have just started his day 3 pre-meds. The first two days he has had very minimal nausea and no real headaches. Besides the late start on the first day causing each day to be a late night, I would say this is one of the better times he has had. He is just now starting to show signs of fatigue, but that too can be from the late nights.

We did get the results back from his chest x-ray and echocardiogram, ALL LOOKS GOOD. His heart looks great and so does his chest. Doctors say it is just his “chemo cough” and the racing heart feeling when he does do a little bit could just be when his counts are low and is extreme fatigue. We just can’t keep Michael down at all and he needs to learn to rest a little more. Yeah right!

Hopefully tonight will go without any real side-effects as well. Tomorrow he will get his Nuelasta shot, but he will not get that until tomorrow evening, so we will head home after dinner.

We ask that everyone continues to keep all the beautiful people fighting cancer in their prayers.
