Chemo Day Went Well

Today was a good day.  Kagan took chemo and it barely had any impact on him.  He was almost hopping out of the hospital and ready for the rest of the day to begin.  He got a chance to hang out with his friend and also go to game night at church.   It is always a good sight to see. 

I know that he is struggling with his summer being eaten up with his mom cramping his style and not getting to run and do all the things he wants to do.  It breaks my heart to not just let him go and have fun. Yet, hopefully he will remember that all this precaution is just to make sure that his next summer is a cancer free blast!   

We did find out that next week that he will be doing another PET scan, Cat Scan, and echocardiogram along with the normal weekly treatment plans that he has been on.  It will be a week full of test, appointments and procedures but these test are very important in determining how effective the current treatment is and what the exact next step is for the following week.

We did also cut back on some of the drugs that Kagan was taking to create the white blood cells.  His body reacts really well to these drugs and actually makes too many of them causing his counts to sky rocket.  Apparently, this can be very dangerous because if there is too many the spleen can rupture. 

I guess our life has become a little like Goldilocks and The Three Bears.   One porridge is too hot, one is too cold and we are looking for the porridge that is just right!
