Chemo Day 2

Cooper has done well today, not much going on. Mom and Dad did have to learn to give him the shots he will need at home and how to flush the PICC line.

Cooper will have another chemo treatment this evening at 6 and we should be going home tomorrow morning.

We then have to come back for another treatment next Tuesday but should be able to go home the same day.

He doesn't have to come back then for a couple of weeks and we do the same thing again. So 5- or six weeks more in the Chemo cycle.Hopefully that will be it for the Chemo treatments.

He will then start radiation treatments. How much, how long radiation will be, we will not know until after Chemo is done and we see what effect it had.

That's about it from here.

Peace,
rsc

  6. It was so good to talk to you all this evening, especially you, Cooper. Definitely the highlight of my day! Thank you for that gift! I'm so glad you got through yesterday and today. You're quite a remarkable young man. How does that pepperoni pizza we talked about sound for dinner tomorrow night? Consider it done! Have a peaceful night. I'm thankful that you have Round 1 behind you. God bless you and your wonderful mom and dad! Have a safe trip back to Joplin.
