Who would have thought that we would be grateful to have a chemo treatment? Yet, we are! We went to Vandy today for a full day of testing, doctors' visits, scans, xrays, etc. The important test was the CT. It told us whether the chemo appears to be working. IT IS! There was a change in the tumor on the adrenal, so we were able to continue with the current chemo treatments. He had one today, will wait three weeks, take another treatment, and then scan/evaluate. The down side to this is that he is still very anemic--so B12 injections and a red blood cell booster were administered. OUCH!
They wanted him to have a blood transfusion, but he was not in favor of that today. He insisted on returning to Milan, resting for a couple of hours, and going "to play UPS feeder driver" tonight. Tonight should prove to be challenge for him since it is supposed to be -5 degrees. BRRRR! (It is a good thing that he took off last night and we went on to Nashville ahead of the bad weather. He is much more rested than he would have been.)
Bundle up. Thank goodness we are out of school on such an extremly cold day as it will be tomorrow.
God's blessings on those that have to be out in the elements tonight and tomorrow.
