Monday- so we got in nice and early. We met with Dr. Wexler and we were both misinformed. We both understood the protocol to be the same chemotherapy drugs for the 3 cycles. But we were told this was the 5 day regiment with the other drugs. This is the week for the etoposide and ifosfamide.
These are tough drugs but other side effects. He handled them well. He is getting tons of hydration and has the hydration for the night. I will need to wake him every 2 hrs for urination. They need to flush the drugs out. He is also getting the medication for his bladder. With his history of the renal functioning weakness they are particularly concerned and watching the output. He ate well today. He met with his psychiatrist and then we both talked. There are some things we need to work out. Time, I keep telling myself.
The doctors also discussed radiation and surgery for the tumor removal which will be discussed at a later date.
We are settled in the Ronald house and will be here for the week.
Thanks for all the messages. I feel the love.
