- Some of the major side effects may be bone and muscle pain, fever, nausea, diarrhea, severe fatigue - please pray that the symptoms will be minimal.
- Dad was not smiling yesterday.... after 2 happy events (2 grandson's weddings) he had to come home and face a major treatment - please pray for encouragement - emotionally, spiritually and physically.
- If Dad is not able to tolerate this treatment size, they will reduce the dose next time - please pray that he is able to communicate his side effects so that he can get help with the symptoms and that his future treatments can to motified appropriately.
- Pray that Dad's White and Red Blood Cell, Hemoglobin and Platelet Count stay within the acceptable range so that he does not get infection and that his treatment can proceed as planned.
The Plan...
- On Wednesday, September 3 - he will received his second full dose of Chemo
- This Chemo Plan is .... 3 Treatments / 3 weeks between each dose.
- September 22 - a bladder biopsy will be taken at the hospital (day surgery) - a red spot was seen by Dr. Tekchandani and she wants to be sure his bladder cancer has not returned.
God has placed His hand on Dad through this entire process. Please continue to pray for Dad that he is able to tolerate the treatment and that his spirit remains positive. Mom and Dad enjoy the comments on this blog and other forms of encouragement will certainly help them through the weeks ahead. God Bless You All.
