4am - chemotherapy

Thankfully Harry has been asleep 95% of the day. It is 4am and they actually after 7 hours of fluids and pre meds have finally started his actual chemotherapy treatment. This should take another 2 to 3 hours - hopefully he will sleep through it all and no one will come to draw blood, take his blood pressure etc until this is complete. I am praying that he gets no nausea or other common side effects. The one I am sure he will get it one of the drugs causes food to taste metallic - but I hope it is less this time than before. After spending the last few hours researching the protocol - it appears he will get this treatment every 3 weeks for up to 6 rounds. He will have to have B12 and Folic Acid to help his body through this - these were started earlier this week.

Harry and God are now in control and I trust that the outcome will be what it is supposed to be.

Thank you all for your prayers - I will let you know in a few hours how he does.
