Dr. Visit for Matt

Matt went to Johnson Creek cancer clinic Monday and had a appointment with Dr. Eastman. Matt decided to start his chemo treaments on Friday, May 1. He will do three months of chemo, every other week. Just like last time. This time we will do a tumor marker test before chemo so during chemo we can take the same tumor marker test to see if he is filling up with cancer. Matt weighed in at 139#. Dr. Eastman said he look great and his check up was good. He will do lab work on Thursday, April 30 and then chemo on May 1. He will have different medicine for chemo. This time he will take pills instead of being hooked up to a pump for 48 hours. Matt agreed to do this for three months. Hopefully he can take the pills. Matt is not very fond of taking pills.

With lots of prayers hopefully Matt will not fil up with cancer. Matt has been keeping up his great attitude! This will also take him a long way!!
