Brian's feeling okay. He is getting the mouth sores, but we already started him on the prescription mouth rinse to help with them.
He tends to eat a softer colder diet to help as well...(ie: fruit smoothees).
I updated the calender to show the NADIR visit next week. He'll be at the lowest counts at that time, 2 weeks following the chemotherapy. Hopefully not too low and he won't require any transfusions.
He seems good so far, relatively speaking.
He has had a small stitch knot surface through his skin up above the port placement. Not sure if it was suppose to dissolve, or it is holding the catheter, but we'll have the doctor look next next, unless it starts to look infected, then we'll go to the ER. Can't mess around with even the smallest of infections during the low count times. Something innocent enough looking can land him in the hospital for several days. This has happened in the past, so we know to be as careful as possible.
It's 84 degrees here today....where did spring go?.....but it's a beautiful day.
