Chemo's a Go

We met with E.'s oncologist today. While his blood counts aren't wonderful, they aren't horrible either. The doctor felt comfortable with continuing with the scheduled chemotherapy tomorrow.

This came as a great relief to E. If this round of chemo got pushed back, then the next round of chemo would get pushed back too . . . and the follow-up PET scan . . . and the trip to Texas.

E. just really wants to get these last two rounds over and done with.

A visit with E.'s primary care provider yesterday confirmed that E.'s on the right track. The three antibiotics appear to be working. A cough syrup with codeine was prescribed to help with E.'s coughing spells so he can get some sleep at night. E. will continue to take Mucinex during the day to loosen that junk up and get it out of there.

Now we're just hoping that the side effects from chemo aren't going to hit him worse in his weakened state. Healthy vibes and positive thoughts.
