No more chemo!

Nick is done with chemo. His last treatment was 3/7. On 3/9, we met with the radiation oncologist, Dr. Kinsella. That went well and he will start the radiation process on 3/23, although his actual treatments won't start that day. He'll have about 4 weeks of radiation. So he gets a little break before starting up with the radiation.

Delayed again

We went in on Friday for what we were hoping was going to be Nick's last chemo treatment. Instead, it was delayed until Monday because his WBC was 1.5 and his neutrophils were only 300. So, hopefully tomorrow we'll be able to finish up the chemo. On Wednesday, Nick has a consultation with the radition oncologist. After much research, thought and prayer, we've decided to do the radiation. It's kind of odd, because initially we were leaning away from radiation, but now, we both feel it is the right decision for Nick. So, Monday should be the last chemo. And on Wednesday, we will see what the radiation oncologist has planned for Nick. The treatment on 2/18 went well. Nick was back at school for a full day on Tuesday. Also, the medication that he started for the peripheral neuropathy that had been waking him up at night seems to be working, and he is sleeping better now.
