Decisions

He decides to stop the chemo. We all support this decision. Being that he is unmethylated it doesn't seem that the effects of the chemo are worth it.

Talk with Dr. Clark and decide to push up the next MRI scan. Schedule it for Oct 11th.

Dad is starting to get a little back to normal which is nice....

Another seizure?

Dad has been miserable for the past couple of weeks. I dont think his body can handle the chemo. Also seems like he gets very stressed out about being sick. We think he had another seizure today. Same symptoms. Mom took him to the hospital. They gave him the usual fluids but didn't admit him, which is probably a good thing.

Starting to talk about not doing any more chemo. He had said he wanted to do at least two rounds but not sure he can handle it......

Sickness hits hard

Well, so much for feeling good. Seems like after taking the five days of the high dose chemo it has finally hit him. He is miserable. Hate this!

Feeling good during chemo week

Dad is three days in to his five days of chemo. To all of our surprise he is feeling really well. Hope it stays this way.

Dad starts 5 day Chemo

Dad got back from Mikeys wedding and took the chemo tonight. He did good on his trip to the wedding. Nausea and fatigue but nothing major. Decided to start chemo as soon as he got home. So far no side effects.

MRI review at UCSF

Meet with Dr. Clark to review scan images. She thinks they look good. She does not seem concerned about small area around tumor. She says we should do the 5/23 plan of chemo and should start immediately after Dad gets back from wedding.

Feeling good.

Dad MRI at St. Helena Hospital

Dads routine MRI is today. Slightly anxious but since he just had one a few weeks ago because of the seizure I'm not that worried.

Later in the day mom calls and says that Dr. Smith says the MRI looks ok. Something small in the tumor area is lighting up but who knows what it is. Abnormal area where seizure was looks normal now. Creates some anxiety amongst us. Will have to wait until next week when we meet with Dr. Clark.
