Clinic Update

Our chemo dosage roller coaster continues in to February. Our doctor assures us he will find the right dosage. He probably could, if Carson would help out by not getting sick; but as of now, we are still finding our way.

The details: Carson's ANC had fallen to 580 since our weekend ER visit. It had been nearly 2000 on Saturday morning. Since he had restarted his oral chemos on Tuesday, there was no way to tell if the chemo had caused the fall or if this was a natural let down in the ANC after fighting off the flu.

All that means that we are back to 50% dosage on the 6MP and MTX after just having raised them two weeks earlier. Oh well, one good thing; Carson actually has Saturday and Sunday with no chemo to take!!

The vincristine and pentamadine (antibiotic) IV's went on as planned. Th 5 day round of steroids also began as well.-and so did the hunger.

This morning's breakfast: 2 bowls of Honey Nut Cheerios and a Special K protein bar! Yep, some things are still the same.
