We just got back from another doctors appointment for a CBC and we asked a few questions about the up coming chemo. Here is Logan (and our) schedule for the next two months.
Next week - recovery and more blood work on Monday and Thursday
October 26 and 27 - chemo drug Ara-C twice daily &
October 28 a new drug, Asparaginase, injected into the leg.
(only 3 days long - wait 4 days - do cycle again)
November 2 and 3 - chemo drug Ara-C twice daily &
November 4 - Asparaginase injection.
Recovery time (and possible hospitalization) of two weeks.
November 23 and 24 - chemo drug Ara-C twice daily &
** Week of Thanksgiving : ( **
November 25 - Asparaginase injection.
November 30 and December 1 - chemo drug Ara-C twice daily &
December 2 - Asparaginase injection.
Week of December 7th - expect hospitalization.
THEN HE'S DONE!!!!!! : )
He'll have a bone marrow biopsy right before Christmas (or right after if that fits our schedule better) to confirm that all cancer is gone. Some time in Febuary he'll have is Hickman catheter removed (HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LOGAN). Then just CBC blood work every month to monitor and make sure that nasty cancer doesn't come back.

ReplyDeleteGreetings from Nashville. I finally got on the internet and checked out the schedule. I have never heard of some of these drugs. Just goes to show you how far they have advanced in the treatment in just a few years. It sounds like they are hitting this disease from all angles. See you soon. Love to all
