Here's a note about today(Monday September 14). Monday morning and we did the second round of chemo today. Vincristine, Cysplatin, and amifostine (which is a rescue drug because without it the other drugs would damage his hearing and or kidneys) That last one is the worst. Poor Jude started out doing better than last time, so I thought, but with that 2nd dose of amifostine, he just kept on throwing up for a couple of hours till they gave him a new anti- vomiting drug that finally worked. Then he was fine, and of course, went back to his favorite things......WII and his telescope. Whew!! Tomorrow will be Cyclophosphomide (did I spell that right?) and Mesna, and Wednesday will be the same. Mesna is another rescue drug that has to be given so the other doesn't give him bladder disease. They fill him with fluids and he will have to pee every 2 hours round the clock until Wednesday. Hopefully things will go better tomorrow. Bye y'all...
