Chemo Update 3/27/09

Chase is receiving 3 chemo meds right now and is, as I type, fast asleep.

Chemo med #1 (Cytarabine) is an IV injection every 12 hrs for 10 days.
Chemo med #2 (Daunorubicin) is red and will be given over 6 hrs on days 1, 3, and 5
Chemo med #3 (Etoposide) is once a day for 5 days and given over 4 hrs.

He was given an anti-nausea medication before they started as a precaution. He started just after 9pm tonight and we're praying for a best case scenario of mild side effects. I would love to shoot for no side effects, but we have to be realistic. Right now, I'm just pleased he's sleeping.

God Bless!
Caroline
