fourth treatment went well, going outpatient now. Magnesium was a little low, all other blood levels were ok. The medicine is starting to affect her walking a little bit, the Doctors told us its expected as the chemicals can affect her nervious system. 56 to go. next week she only get one chemical, should take a whole lot less time.

she's on 10, six week cycles. One treatment per week, 1 chemical the first week, 2 the second thru the 4th, 1 the fifth, then five days of oral medication the sixth while she's reevaluated for the next cycle. Just found out the oral medication for 5 pills is going to run around $1200( I thought the nausa meds were high at $12 per pill). We had to make a special application to medicade to cover what blue cross won't. waiting to hear back from them.

It's incredible the resilliance of our youngsters.

I hope all works out well with the funding.

Prayers are with her.

Kendall is on her last week in the first cycle, she's doing OK, this week shes taking oral chemo, 5 pills for $1200, thank God for disabilty coverage! Shes starting to lose her hair, it doesn't bother her as much as it bothers her mother and I, its a visual reminder of whats going on with her. We've been over whelmed here lately. After my wife's sister found out she had breast cancer, my wife went and had a mamogram herself, guess what, she had to outdo her sister, we got the results back yesterday and it came back positive. We haven't gotten the lab report yet, so they are scheduling surgery for the 15th, unless we find out its more aggresive. I'm about at my full capacity, I don't know what else could happen, i told someone the other day that I'm going to hit the lottery or get hit by a truck, the sob pointed out that I could be like Earl Hickey and do both, i had to laugh at that one. See the caringbridge site for more updates. Thanks for the prayers and concerns.
