I think all the chemo details are in order, so we can finally share the plans!
Keeping in mind, of course, that plans change with the wind 😅 But this is what we have so far.
Brady will be on six week cycles. In those six weeks, he will have three treatments.
The first treatment will start with one BIG fat pill that is meant to increase the absorption of the chemo, and then an hour long IV infusion. On this same day, Brady will also start a four week regimen of antibiotics, to proactively battle any infection. This therapy can really take down your white blood cell count for an extended period of time, so this should hopefully protect him.
Second treatment is two weeks later, and is only the IV infusion.
Third treatment is a repeat of the second.
Once those six weeks are up, he goes into cycle two with the big fat pill, and then IV treatments.
There will be three of these six week cycles, and then an MRI to check on the inside and see whats all going on in there.
We are under the impression that Brady’s chemo is quite well tolerated, and considering how well he tolerated the previous chemotherapies, his oncologist is very optimistic he will fair well through this next bout as well.
Thankfully, we trust GOD above anyone and anything else. He knows more than the oncologists. The doctors. The nurses. The therapists. Pathologists. Scan technicians. Booking department. All of those rolls are important but God is the GREAT Physician and He gets all the trust and ALL the glory!!!
So. We start Friday.
Please continue to pray!
