Chemo Day Two - done

Chemo went well again today. Les slept most of the day when he returned. They were right...he didn't sleep well last night. :(

The visit with Dr. T went well. He indicated that Les's next scan will be on June 17th...his birthday. The CAT scan will look at his chest, abdomen and pelvis. The MRI (which is not technically scheduled yet, but Les wants it on the same day) will look at his brain and spine. If the chemo is working and things are shrinking, round 3 of chemo would start on June 18th and the cycle of 3 days of chemo/18 off would continue. He will get the shot that helps generate more white blood cells on Friday after the chemo is done.

Thank you for all your positive thoughts and prayers.

  1. Thanks Nik for keeping us up to date. We and many of our friends and relatives are praying daily for Les and all of his care givers and doctors, and that the chemo will deliver a knock-out blow to the tumors.
    Hugs to everyone,
    Chris & Linda
