Brody got his week 33 chemo last night and stayed the night as scheduled... doing ok but did vomit once right after they gave it to him... He has been getting a 2nd anti nausea drug this time staggered with the first and has been ok since... it did knock him out and he has been a bit wobbly walking. He seems to feel fine but has no appetite... playing wii right now. He only woke up twice overnight at 1 am and 4 am... I didn't manage to fall back asleep after he woke up at 4... Brody managed to sleep til 9am.
There was a question a few posts back about what happens after he is done with his chemo in January... I reposted the response below...

Sorry for the late response... We are not exactly sure, but from what we understand he will be monitored periodically for re-occurance... we are not sure how often.... Althouh his last chemo round is scheduled for Jan 10th (if he stays on schedule)-- he will need bloodwork done for a few weeks as he recovers. His last chemo is week 39-- however week 42 (Jan 31) of the regimen is listed as (EVAL)-- so possibly another CT that day... not exactly sure... as you can imagine it is hard too look out too far ahead-- we live pretty much day to day around here since all this went down.

Really not much more to report...we expect his nausea and lack of appetite last another day or so.
Bill, thanks for the response. You may have said that earlier, I must not have remembered. You all have done an incredible job through all of this. You truly have a remarkable family. We really appreciate the time and effort spent keeping everyone updated. You and your family are always in my thoughts and prayers.
