So Matt started his second day of chemo around 10 a.m. so he should be finished around 1 p.m. Someone asked the other day which drug he is on. It is Ara-C also called Cytarabine. I guess there are really so many different kinds of chemo that each is unique to the type of cancer, so this is one commonly used for AML. Basically he is getting a mega dose of Ara-C twice each of the three days. This time around he is getting drops to protect the corneas of his eyes. Matt hates eye drops almost a much as he hates the taste saline leaves of burning tires.
Matt ate Whataburger around 8 p.m. last night and ate the whole thing. So his appetite is still good. He does feel nauseous, but mainly when they do the saline flush of his tubes.
Hopefully all continue to goes well while we are here this week. The nurses have been so good and it makes such a difference this time with Matt feeling better compared to the first time we were here in November.
Thanks to Keith for bringing in a box of Round Rock Donuts for breakfast this morning. Matt really enjoyed the chocolate ones and has made it known that I'm not allowed to touch any more, since he will be finishing the box later.
Please continue to keep us in prayer.
