This week is going to be a busy one, that's for sure. Tomorrow begins Course 2 of my treatment, and it's going to be filled with chemotherapy. Monday we start at the South Bend Clinic at 7:30am for the start of the chemo. We'll be there for 3-4 hours, we're told, and then from there we go to St. Joe Med Center for a lumbar puncture with chemo. Tuesday will be the same thing, except without the lumbar puncture.
Wednesday, my parents, Katie and I will go to Chicago, where I will undergo more chemo and have preliminary bone marrow transplant tests done. I don't know what that entails just yet, but I'm sure the details will be forthcoming. My parents will also be tested for bone marrow matches.
Thursday, we'll be back here in town for another morning of chemo.
I'm worried about how my body is going to handle 4 days straight of chemotherapy. Never before have I had this much chemo in that short amount of time. I guess I'll find out soon enough. I do know that the chemotherapy drugs they are using this week are different than what I've received before, but I don't know the dosage amount.
I'll try and update you guys as best I can this week based on how I'm feeling. If I can't personally post, I will try and have Katie update this blog with what's going on.
Thanks for reading...again.

Hey there. Just a quick note wishing you the very very best this week. You and Katie are in our thoughts and prayers every day.
ReplyDeleteThis week is going to suck, that's for sure, but I know that the two of you are strong enough to handle it! Remember you have a huge support team and we are all here for you! Jonathon, if you can put up with me day in and day out for the last 5 years, this should be a piece of cake!! Tuck in your skirt, you can do anything!
