Brody Did Well With Chemo Again Today

Brody did well with Chemo again today.  No major discomforts, nausea, or vomiting.  He was less crazy today (less "chemo brain" and less flailing about and hyperness).  Last night was rough trying to keep him from pulling his tubes out, hitting himself, flopping around in bed etc etc etc.  But I was just happy he wasn't in pain.  He was nuts! But at least he was happy and pain-free.  Brody acted much more like himself today.  He just settled down to go to sleep.  Hopefully, he continues to stay calmer. 

 

Brody will get more chemo again tomorrow and then fluids on the 4th.  They plan to let him out of the hospital early in the day on the 4th.  Hopefully, he will be feeling well enough to celebrate the 4th when we get out of here. 

 

Brody will return to the hospital on Friday for labs.  He will have a CT scan within the next couple weeks to see how this round of chemo worked out.  If it is successful (shrinking the tumor) he will keep getting the same chemo he got this week every 2 to 3 weeks (whenever his counts are high enough again for him to get it again). 

 

His doctor does have a few more ideas to try if this chemo doesn't work.  But obviously, tumor is growing fast and we need to find something that is going to work fast.  The list of options is getting pretty small too.  Really need this chemo to actually work!  Keep praying, crossing fingers and whatever else you can think of to send some good luck our way.  We need it.
