Well, it's been just over one week from his first chemo treatment. So far, he has not had any serious issues with nausea. Yeah!! And, he still has hair [probaby not for long though :) ]. But, as expected, it is certainly knocking his body for a loop. He is exhausted, some food has a nasty taste, not much desire to eat or drink, sore mouth, his body aches all over and he started running a low fever yesterday. This morning he and Peggy went to the oncologist [he already had a one week checkup appt for blood work scheduled]. The result was Glen's white blood cell count is significantly lower than it should be so they put him on a strong antibiotic. He is to return this Friday [the 20th] for re-evaluation.
Our prayers are that Glen's immune system rebounds quickly before catching any serious infections, that his body maintains enought strength that the chemo focuses on attacking the lymphoma and not the rest of his body, that he has as few side effects as possible, and that his mental strength continues to point Upward.
As always, thanks for your prayers and support.
