A Nauseating 3rd Round

There was a reason I could not even get Christopher to look at me for a picture...he was having one of the worst weeks since his relapse and was not a happy patient. 6 days of nausea, vomiting and of course boredom. As you can see by the picture he comes fully equipped for the occasion with his various technological distractions.
Though he took quite a beating he managed to bounce back well enough to make it the long awaited Linkin Park concert in Tampa! Many many thanks to Dean for the incredible seats and backstage passes. It was a much deserved treat for Christopher to not only see his favorite band in concert but meet them as well! A great end to a rough week!
In less than 10 days following his admission to chemo his blood counts went from over 5,000 to under 70. Once again we are hoping to avoid nuetrapenia and a trip to the ER with a fever.
Next week I meet with his oncologist to discuss the next 3 months of Christopher's treatment. There may be some changes where one of the drugs may be tapered down or discontinued due to the risk of heavy side effects. We may even opt for an entirely different protocol. There is alot to consider and a much to think about, but primarily Christopher's well being and quality of life are the main considerations. His Dr.'s are still very determined to put him in complete remission so we are eager to see what they have to say and what his prognosis is at this point.
As always your thoughts and prayers are welcomed and much appreciated.
To a fever free "in between" time!
