Yes, today is Friday the thirteenth and we are getting phase 2 of the first cycle with the new chemo. We have discovered that two infusions are considered a cycle with this chemo so this completes the first cycle with this infusion today.
The Doctor seemed pleased with Arnie's status so far. They have prescribed an antibiotic cream to help with the skin rash that has appeared as a side effect. This is the side effect that we wanted to see because it indicates that the chemo is working.
The day started with the blood draw and port access being delayed by about a half an hour this morning causing events for the rest of the day to be delayed as well. We are just now getting the infusion - about 45 minutes later than scheduled.
This may be Friday the 13th but it is not an unlucky day for us! (We actually don't believe in luck).
Remember us in your prayers. We know that God is in control of our lives.
Dear Sharon and Arnie,
ReplyDeleteYou both are truely an inspiration to me. I am very encouraged by the progress and your positive, can-do attitudes.
A day doesn't pass without you in my thoughts and prayers. So much looking forward to the family party at your home this weekend.
Keep strong and faithful.
GOD is Great!
Love,
Pete
