Back at Moffitt on 6/11/2006

Heath was admitted back in Moffitt on Sunday, 6/11, to start his 3rd cycle of chemo. This round is the Adriamycin & Cisplatin. This is the chemo that is very hard on Heath. He hasn't been eating or drinking at all but he is getting a lot of IV fluids to keep him hydrated. He has been sleeping or trying to sleep since Monday morning because he feels so bad.

He was supposed to go in last Sunday but this round was delayed because the two previous rounds of Methotrexate caused his throat to so sore that he could hardly swallow. The doctors put him of some very heavy duty antibiotics. After about a week, his throat started feeling better. He could have gone in on Friday but a bed didn't open up until Sunday.

Sorry I haven't been keeping this blog updated. I'll try and keep it updated better going forward.

Please pray for Heath to bounce back quickly after this round. Also, he is scheduled to get an MRI scan of the tumor before the next round starts so pray the chemo is shrinking the tumor.
