WOW- this double-header round of chemo (his first) has REALLY REALLY knocked him down. He is usually up and running around with friends and staying out most of the day. He doesn't even have the energy to sit up, most times, for long at all. I KNOW, as I said before, that this is a necessary evil... but man!! This is all a learning curve for us. Addy and I were used to the other rounds of chemo and then he got this new regimen of Erbitux added and we are learning all over again what we are to expect. Keep the thoughts and prayers going... he needs strength to keep these new regimens. We can't wait---- 2 weeks, and we should be able to have a pet scan again!!!! I am REEEEEEAAAALLLLLLLYYYYyyyyyy excited to see the difference. It HAS to be working because he has been moving his bowels- - 'real poops' as he calls them. That means 2 things that make me very happy.... his tumor has shrunk enough that it is NOT obstructing his colon now... AND the entire system STILL REMEMBERS how to work!!!!!! WOOOOooo HOOOOooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's like being happy that your 2 year old is potty trained times 2000!!!!!!!!
He has chemo again Thursday- this round is Erbitux only, so I am hoping that he gets some 'feel half normal' time in there soon... that is until the NEXT Thursday when he has the double-header again. Positive and healing thoughts!!!
Love and hugs to all.....
