Today Bruce had his first Chemotherapy treatment. They infused him with 2 drugs and an anti nausea that is supposed to last for 3 days. That should be the amount of time that he will be nauseous. These are amazing new drugs that help with the side effects of chemo. He has a major headache tonight (on a scale of 1-10 he said they are a 7.5) and he is very tired! Our mantra is "we can do hard things".
The baseline scan results are back and the cancer has grown a little bit but nothing major, so that is good!
The super lab test results are not back yet but will be by the 25th of this Month. They finally got a large enough piece of tissue from St. Marks. These test results are huge for us as is the new drug which the FDA released 2 weeks ago. Either or both could improve Bruce's prognosis. Wow, there are so many wonderful advances being made in modern medicine and it is a miracle that we are extremely grateful for. Thanks to you all for your thoughts, prayers, and service!
