Brady is on day 7 of his 28 day cycle. Ha! That sounds like I’m talking about his period. I’m not. I’m talking about chemotherapy. If you missed the post about the details of his treatment plan, I wrote it all out here.
This won’t be an especially long post, but that is actually a really good thing.
He took his first dose on Friday, before bed, at the lake. By the light of a solar pineapple.
We’ve been instructed that no one but him should really even touch the pills, because they’re dangerous chemicals. So thats a fun thing to think about as he’s swallowing them. I went to the kitchen and stood with him as he cracked everything out onto a kleenex. We prayed together, and then he took his first dose. Boom. There you have it. 320 mgs of temozolomide.
We were prepared for the worst. Brought lots of nausea medication. Gatorade. Ginger ale.
Brady suffered ZERO side effects from his chemotherapy treatment! PRAISE GOD!!!!! 😭
He took his five doses over five days, and there was no “hit.” That doesn’t mean there won’t be one. We are not completely blind to the possibilities. Everyone has a different experience. But many say the treatment days are the worst for pain, sickness, and discomfort, and they were completely manageable. Nothing changed. It was amazing.
There are more treatments to come. At least five more. Up to twelve altogether. That part is still uncertain. But we ask that you continue to carry us in prayer. We are still swirling in uncertainty, but are grateful for the smooth sailing thus far. We trust God has a plan, and is carrying it out in the way He sees fit. We are here, and we are His.
