Brody is still having his 5 showers a day but finishes tonight. He is starting to feel the effects of all his treatments, as he lays around all day, isn't eating much, loosing more and more hair. His head is still quiet red and its sore for him when we have to wash it. He got a headache today but is still begin brave.
The chemo he had yesterday was called Cyclophosphamide.
Effects are - nausea, vomiting, metallic taste in mouth, bladder irritation, fluid retention and confusion, skin colour can darken.
Toady's chemo is called Cyclosporin.
Effects- nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, burning feeling in the hands and feet, risk of infection, damage to kidney and liver function, tremor, weight gain, headaches, and the list goes on.
Tomorrow they check his levels and make sure he can still go through with Wednesday, but at this stage they are happy with him. They told me buy the end of this week or next week he will be getting worse. So transplant i think will go well, its the effects afterwards that i am really worried about.
LUke had his appointment today and he is fit and ready to go for Wednesday.
My thoughts and prayers are with all my family and Melbourne family as my Pop's Twin Sister Aunty Alison past away this morning at the age of 92. She is a remarkable women and will be sadly missed. We love you Aunty Alison xoxoxox
