Chemo - Day 3

Chemotherapy as we are coming to realize has no certain effect on anyone.  The nurses can guess what is going to happen but honestly the results seem to be so varied that there is really not a real answer. Some nurses give you the best case scenario and other's warn you that the worst is yet to come.  

Kagan has responded physically to the chemo well.  The first night he had 6 chemo agents along with the anti-nausea medicine.   The second night down to three and this evening only one.  


Right before the chemo started Kagan looked at the red dripping fluid and sighed.  I held back every tear.  I was intentionally letting poison drip into my son's veins to cure him and he knew that.   Oh how much faith to allow modern day medicine work.

We were fearful of Kagan having immediate pain, throwing up and in an overall pure panic over how he would feel.  To our joy, none of this happened to any extent that we were prepared for.

The journey continues but we focus on the goal line of being cancer free!

  1. Misti & Kaleb - we love you so much and we love your family. Kagan - you are constantly in our thoughts and Justin tears up when he talks about how brave you are and I can see how proud he is of you.

    We love you so much and Kade and Kenadee, you are both being so awesome. Come hang out whenever you need to.

    Can't wait for the cancer to be gone.
