4-1-10 - Day 13 of Radiation, 1st Chemotherapy Treatment

The chemotherapy is a low-dosage being administered intravenously (through an IV bag). Aunt Linda stayed with him all day, minus a bit of time for lunch, and said he did well. Eventually they would speed up the dosage so that it does not have to be an all-day process but initially they keep patients there to monitor them closely for reactions. We are not sure about the full effects yet, but he was not nauseated by the treatment. Of course, it is not a good feeling and thus, it is something he is not enthusiastic about. There are two more treatments scheduled for the next couple of weeks; however, he is resistant to having them done.

  1. Chemo is never fun BUT if it kills the cancer, it's worth it.

    Hang in there, guys.
