An All Day Extravaganza!

Today is actually a day that we have been looking forward to. Even though it means spending the entire day in the hospital going from one department to another, getting poked and prodded and having to ingest nasty liquids and then have radioactive die put into your veins. Yes, I said we were looking forward to this. Well at least Adam's mother and I are looking forward to this day. Adam on the other hand may not find it as stimulating.

But, the tests are being done for a very important reason. It will tell us just how much the tumors have shrunk and if the chemotherapy Adam has been undergoing is doing what it needs to be doing. it will also initiate the next few months of treatment and how we will go forward from this point. Of course, both the doctors, Lisa, Adam and myself are sure that the treatments are working. Now to find out just how much. We will receive some initial results later this afternoon, but the big day will be the 22nd when we meet with the radiologists and the team of oncologists.

Adam has been doing fairly well, his counts are up, which is a good thing, however it is causing him a little back pain. This is a normal reaction to the Neupogen, but other than that he seems to be doing well. Adam is such a quiet subdued personality it it sometimes hard for us to determine just how he is doing. But, I am sure if he was not doing well, he would let us know.

Well we are on our way to the all day extravaganza, we will let you know our results as soon as we know, keep your fingers crossed!
