… and Update. We had a scan on Monday to check the tumor and other issues, but won’t know the results till next week when we have our oncologist visit. Right now we are hopeful. As you might know he skipped a chemo week because he was drained from Chemo #5. Chemo #6 then happened this week and it was at an 80% level. Today (4/17) on the way home from having the chemo machine removed, he really surprised me and asked to go to Walmart. Today he walked the Walmart and picked out food he wanted to eat and could make easily for himself in microwave or oven — if he has the strength to do so. That one week off chemo did help his body recover a lot. Thanks Prayer Warriors! Keep praying!

Truth is, I cannot remember putting together this post, but it was saved, so I added one to it and am posting it now. My son is on a break from chemo for an extra week because the last one had an elongated recovery period. He was not eating or drinking, he fell (and had head CT because he hit his head) and other issues. So instead we are doing 2 days of hydration several days apart and 3 weeks between this time. After is next Chemo (next week) they are working on scheduling that scan to see the effect the chemo treatments have had on the tumor. Please pray for a good result. And… as always thanks for all your prayers.

Oncologist visit showed that he was down 3 lbs. It did shock him, but he and I both knew he wasn’t eating much. Palliative care gave him a med that usually works on Chemo patients to make them hungry – I am sure hoping it works on him! Chemo #5 is Monday. After #6, the oncologist said they will do a scan and see the tumors status. It’s both hopeful and scary. Thanks for all your prayers, keep praying!

Chemo #4 in the books. This round he is very sleepy. We did have a medicine change and that also might be having that affect on him. Still hard to get him to eat enough (what I think is enough) and so we still have him drinking the Ensures for vitamins and calories. No weight loss this weigh in for chemo, and hoping to add another pound before the next one!

Getting into a routine. It could be the medicine change has worked to help the pain levels or the chemotherapy is starting to work. We are moving forward some. Today he took his walker “off-road” through the grass while getting to the car and he also came into the pharmacy with me. Thanks to the faithful prayer warriors – do keep praying.
