The Chemo Continues

We are now beginning the third day of round three of chemo. As expected, the first day of Cisplatin was pretty rough for him. Day two and three with Cytoxan has not been quite so bad. This time, Mason was not happy about going back for chemo and cried the whole way to the hospital. A pretty tough ride and no way to make it better for anyone. He is pretty perceptive and was trying to negotiate what the doctors could and could not do to him in the hospital. Unfortunately, not much is in our power to change anything for him. So we keep pushing through and hope this is the last we will ever have to see of these drugs. Our MRI is scheduled for October 11 and we wait not so patiently to see if this is all working. He will then finish the last three rounds of chemo with the stem cell rescue as part of each round. 3 almost down- three to go. We shall see....
