We've started our 3rd round of chemo and last planned round. We found out this morning that due to the results of his pulmonary function test and decreased liver function, one of his three chemo drugs had to be cancelled.
Since his cancer is highly curable, doctors plan treatment with the goal of least long-term health risk. The two drugs he is on this week are known to increase risk of leukemia. The drug that was cancelled today causes short-term damage to the lungs and can reduce the amount of the first two drugs he has to take.
Now that it had to be cancelled, we may still need to have another round of treatment. He has another pulmonary function test on Wednesday and more blood work to check on his liver. I don't know what will happen until we meet with the doctor on Thursday.
It is in God's hands, whatever happens. We'll deal with it and make it through. I'm just praying that our hearts and mind continue to rely on the Lord and put our trust in Him and not get discouraged.
