October 24, 2013

So, we got a call today that we are meeting with radiation on Nov. 14 to begin the simulation for radiation.  I thought we were starting on the 11th.  So I made a call and found out that Cody's body needs to clear the upcoming chemo as one of the drugs can interact with radiation and cause burning to his skin.  Unbelievable.  So my guess is we are not starting till late November after Thanksgiving as that would be a disruption in the process again.  It is not something you can plan for.  It is crazy at work and we have Casey and Nicole coming so I am trying to figure all this out.  I ain't easy!!
Cody had blood work today and we did not hear back about his counts so not sure where he stands for tomorrow.  I am trying to 'like' this team and these drs but it is kinda hard.  We were so spoiled with the bone marrow team.  They are still there for us but not on a day to day basis.  I miss them.  It will all work out, just stressful and anxious.  I will keep you posted.  Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday!!

  1. Mary,

    Radiation often burns the skin perhaps the chemo makes the skin more sensitive? I have my fingers crossed that Cody's counts will be lay. So much information for you to both process, nothing that any mother or child should ever have to know. Hugs, kisses, god healing thought all sent to you both!

    Xoxo,
    Diane
