Round two of chemo is almost over, and Curtis seems to be tolerating it very well. He's had minimal nausea, very little vomiting, and his energy levels have been quite good throughout. For anyone thinking of visiting tomorrow (Sunday), please call first as we're expecting that Curtis will be discharged a little after lunch (fingers crossed!). We will be taking him in on Monday & Tuesday for outpatient testing, and Thursday will be a clinic visit day. Tests on Monday and Tuesday include an MRI, Bone Marrow Aspirate, Echo, and Bone Scan. All of these tests are repeat tests to monitor Curtis' progress, and the Echo is to ensure that no damage is being done to his heart.
We expect that Curtis will be neutrapenic (no immune system) by his clinic visit on Thursday, so during this time, we kindly ask that only healthy visitors drop by.
