And another weekend awaits
Tomorrow morning we've got another round of chemo coming. Steven will have a dose of Cisplatin and Doxorubicin over the course of 48 hours. These are the same ones he had the very first time he had chemo--the ones that make him very nauseated and eventually bring his counts down really low. This time he says he doesn't want to take any of the drugs that make him sleepy--he wants to play the iPad. We'll see. The nurses and doctors really try hard to control the nausea. They worry about anticipatory nausea. One nurse told me about a patient who saw his nurse at the grocery store and threw up in the aisle. I don't know about Steven, but I guarentee that I've got anticipatory nausea tonight.

Good luck! We'll be thinking about you.
ReplyDeleteGood luck tomorrow. I'll be thinking of you, although it gives me anticipatory nausea. I seriously get that all the time!
ReplyDeleteSonja,
ReplyDeleteI'm your dad's secretary, and he gave me a link to Steven's blog. I have a nephew that is exacly Steven's age, and four others that are close in age. I can only imagine what you must be going through. Please know that we in the office are all praying for you and your family, and please tell Steven how brave he is, and how proud we are of him for how he is facing this! We'll keep up the prayers!
If all of us who love you have participatory nausea do you think Steven could have a little less of it? How I wish it worked that way.
ReplyDeleteGood luck. You and Steven are in our prayers.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have anticipatory nausea too. If we are all a little sick, does that make it better for Steven? We are praying today for you guys!
ReplyDeleteI just threw up reading this.
ReplyDeleteHi Sonja and Steven! I just wanted to let you guys know that our family is praying for Steven. I'm not sure if he even remembers us but we remember him! We love you guys and appreciate all the updates. Hugs!
