Chemo

Jon had his second chemo treatment yesterday (the first was in the hospital). He will be doing one a month for six months total, so not too bad. He did well. He was just kind of woozy all day yesterday and then he said he could not sleep at all last night. They gave him some anti-nausea medicine before they did the chemo and they gave him some anti-nausea pills to take home. He has had to take a couple of those. But he is doing really well. I think we will continue to see some of the effects of it for a few days. The chemo was administered at the Utah Cancer Specialist clinic, it has been hard for Jon to be sick, but it is devastating to see what cancer patients have to go through. There were four women there having chemo treatments for cancer, and they were all young, like 30s and 40s. I couldn't help notice that they still kept a smile on their face. What a great example! Faye has also been a great example. She is one amazing four year old!

Jon continues to progress. He has worked for two weeks now. It may take a few months to see the effects of the treatment. His hemoglobin levels are still very low at 9.5 (should be around 16), and his platelets are still low at 105 (should be 150). He is hanging in there! We have been discussing vacations for when he is done with all of this. Any suggestions?
