ready to start another round

Well, here we go again. Monday starts round 3 of chemo.

 

I'm asking for some prayers this time through.

 

Some of the kids have had colds ect. Please pray Jeff and I don't get one. They (obviously) don't want us there if we are sick.

 

Also, I add that none of the kids get any worse. Matthew seems pretty good today but got up on Friday and had that 'barking' cough kids sometimes get.  By 900 it is usally gone. I didn't hear it at all today.

 

Thirdly, for Jeff that this treatment goes well.  Before his follow up apt last cycle he started with a rash. Looked like a drug reaction to me, I called to let them know and then started giving him some benedryl. Of course, the one time I'd like to be wrong, I'm not. The doctor put him on some prednisone and the rash healed and all went well. The problem is that he is on 2 diffent chemo drugs plus 5 or 6 pre-treatment drugs-most of which are new to him. So any one of them could be the one he is allergic to. We could scrap this treatment regime  but then we'd have to start totally over. The doctor has recommended we continue with what he is doing and hope that any future reactions remain mild.

 

Following this treatment sometime he will have a CT scan to see how things are going- at least that is what the doc told us when we went in at the start of cycle 2.

 

Thank you all.
