Good news is, not only did they approve Nolan's new chemo but it was delivered and ready for us when we got to the clinic today. WOW! Nolan's not supposed to start this until January!!! We are all set :-)
Bad news....He must start the dreaded decadron! The most hated steroid EVER! The worry is radiation causes swelling and Nolan doesn't have much room in his spine for this to happen. If we don't stay ahead of everything it could cause a lot of problems. Expect a cranky, hungry, swollen Nolan...
Radiation was long, but hopefully today will be the only day like this. There were a lot of mistakes and apparently they accidentally cancelled Nolan's appointment. We figured this out after waiting for 2 1/2 hours... I was not prepared for this. Tomorrow I will make sure I have lots of activities and snacks just in case. Nolan pretty much walked in and hopped up on the machine like he was a pro, telling everyone he's done this before and he knew what he was doing. Ha! That's Nolan for you! Even though we had to wait a long time everything went well, one treatment down 12 more to go! Woooohoooo!!!
