Treatment Day 7
OK. Here we are at day 7.... One week since his treatment started. He had a appointment today to see the doctor and have blood work done. Doc says that blood is great. We asked the doctor if maybe they gave him a sample dose or something because the chemo in the chair only took 2-3 hours and not the 6 that everyone is telling us. Also, the fact that he really didn't have too many major side effects. Doctor says he got a full dose and that not everyone has side effects. We also discussed with him what he thought we could expect with the future doses. He believes that his side effects should not be too different than what he has already experienced. If that is the case then we are going to be rockin.... To sum up his side effects this week... He took two 3-hour naps, felt nauseated 3 times, a couple of mouth sores, and a small heat rash. Maybe this won't be so hard on him as it is on others. Makes us feel almost guilty that he is doing so well while others are having so many issues. Well his next chemo appointment is on Thursday afternoon. Hopefully it will all go just as well. Please keep us in your prayers.
