Nolan and Simon playing headbands game while in clinic yesterday

Clinic went really good yesterday!  All his blood work looked good, Nolan looks good and we are right on track with everything.  He was able to get his IV chemo yesterday but we are starting to have a few issues with it.  He's been on avastin (IV chemo) for almost 2 years now with no problems and Dr. Aguilera just made the comment on how well Nolan has handled it.  I guess we spoke to soon :-/
Oh well, he will go back next week for more testing.  Everolimus (oral chemo) is going well, only symptoms we see so far are mouth sores :-(  He doesn't seem to act like they hurt, but we started him on biotene mouth wash hoping that will clear it up.  Temodar (oral chemo #2) was started tonight.  So far, so good! In the past this chemo has caused Nolan to have a lot of nausea and vomiting.  So please pray we won't have any of these problems.  He's on a mixture of Nausea drugs that will hopefully help with this.

Important date to remember is MRI has been scheduled for February 15th.  I'm counting down the days! I'm so ready for this!  He seems to be improving though. His balance and speech are continuing to improve and he is really looking forward to going snow tubing this weekend.  Special thank you to Radiation Vacation for those awesome snow tickets :-)
