Chemo Round 2

Hi All,

Nick recovered well enough on Sunday for them to start his next round of chemo yesterday, it was been pumped into him most of the day taking in 11 bags of different drugs and he has had the same today :( so as you can guess he is pretty much out of it tonight, very flat and tired but that has not been helped with his hemoglobin levels dropping very quickly so he is having a blood transfusion over night once his chemotherapy for today has finished which will be around 11.30 tonight.

He has lost the weight he put on too so the build up meal shakes are back on the menu when he wants them and the Physio is also going to come and see him to help keep his leg muscles built up as he has hardly been out of bed since starting all of this in December.

These set of drugs can change his personality so they are keeping a very close eye on him but the good news is that it will only be temporary as of yet I can see no change myself...

Nick will be having three more days of chemo the next two days will be a little lighter than the last two and he will have his intrathecal chemo into his spine on Friday. I will keep you all post after my visits.
