Friday-Blood work was done and in 30 minutes we found out Cody needed platelets badly and then once at Sloan he got blood also. I am glad about the blood as his color was off. He went to be early last night so I was thinking he needed it. And he did. We discussed the maintenance with his nurse practitioner and I am scared. It is another 12 week cycle with 10 days of chemo. The first time he does this they want him there the 10 days to see how his body handles the drugs. One drug makes you very nauseous and the other causes explosive diarrhea. I am already worried. Not sure when this will start as he just finished cycle 12 of 14 and then he has scans on Thursday. I think a lot depends on the scans. He needs to go in Monday for a blood check and most likely platelets since he was incredibly low today. I thought a lot today and the cancer epidemic is really sickening to me. I saw some very sick children today. It breaks my heart. I will pray harder tonight for the children I saw today. I will pray harder for Cody because he will continue on this tough road. It has been 5 and a half years. This is now a full year of chemo that he has been going through and he has more. I am rambling on now but just scared and very worried for my son.
