2 doses down

Hello Readers,

A quick update to let you know that my dad started his third round of post induction inpatient chemotherapy at City of Hope on Monday, and has completed 2 doses out of 6.  He was taking to it as well as one could until last night at about 6 pm, when he developed a high fever and nausea.  The nursing staff was able to curve the nausea via IV meds, but the fever won't seem to give.  Meds will take it down one degree but won't break it completely.  He had the same problem with fever the last round as well.  Due to this fever and neuro side effects he stopped his chemo cycle two days early last cycle.  Fever is a side effect of the chemo, but can also be a sign of infection.  Chances are at this point it is a side effect.  Please continue to keep my mom and dad in your prayers.... please please please!!

Thanks so much,

Nicole and Jenny
