Still no chemo!

Jason could not get his chemotherapy on Thursday again, due to low ANC and platelet counts.
So already two weeks behind on chemotherapy cycle#5.  His last chemotherapy (cycle #4) was on 10/07/10 and it's been more than 1 month but still his blood counts are not recovered.  =(
But thanks to God that he doesn't have a fever and is not sick.  His oncologist thinks that by next week, his blood counts should come back so he can start chemotherapy cycle #5.
He is actually doing very well.  Two days ago, I tried to make him wear his feeding pump in his mini backpack again like he used to before.  Of course, he really hated it in the beginning but he got over it and continued to wear it for almost two hours each day.  By wearing his feeding pump, I don't have to follow him around every second carrying the feeding pump.  I am like a dog on a leash!!
It also gives him more independenc..haha..=)
I will continue to make him wear it 2-3 hours a day while he's on feeding.  yay~

  1. I was concerned that his blood counts are low but maybe he just need little longer break from his last chemo. I am glad that he is doing pretty well overall and becoming little more independent. Jason, we are so proud of you!

    Be well during this change of weather and God bless...
