Thursday - September 27, 2012: Jake
and I are back at primary's for the new chemo infusion. It is called Etoposide.
This one can cause leukemia. It has the same side affects as the other
one he has had. The other chemo is Ifosfamide. It also can increase the chances
for leukemia and lymphoma and thyroid cancer. It makes me nervous but
the risk of his osteosarcoma coming back somewhere else out weights the other
cancer. So we press forward with faith that Heavenly Father will watch
over Jake.
We
went to Dr. Scott's on Tuesday the 25th and had Jakes stitches removed and received the go ahead to get an appointment with the prosthetic's. This is very
exciting for Jake as he is sick of walking with crutches and the wheel chair.
After the appointment with Dr. Scott we left for primary children's.
He
had his first infusion on Tuesday at midnight. They gave him lots of nausea
meds so he pretty much slept through the night and the next day. Last
night they gave him the next infusion at 11:30 it went pretty much like the
night before. However today the 27th, he is sitting up with his
nausea pretty much in control waiting to get his next chemo infusion. The
Drs will push the infusion forward 2 hours because he is tolerating the
infusion with anti-meds controlling the nausea. Hopefully this won't
cause his nausea to get worse. If they can push it forward for the next 3
infusions we will be able to leave a few hours earlier.
