Rough Weekend!

Matt started chemo on Friday. Things started out not to bad. We were at the cancer clinic until 1:30. They gave him fluids some stuff for nauseousness and then a chemo drug. We left there and went and had a hamburger. Matt took the first of his six pills he has to take every day for 7 days, Xeloda. By evening he felt a little nauseous. He started to vomit throughout the night. Called Dr. Eastman and we decided not to take anymore of the Xeloda until he stops vomiting. He is strictly on a fluid diet for now. He continue to vomit on Sunday some and throughout the night a few more times. Today we will see what the Doctor wants to do. He is very tired and pale. He had labs done on Thursday. His tumor marker test we took 3 weeks ago was 1.5 (Needs to stay low, 5 or under hopefully) He test on Friday showed it was 1.6. That is what we need is for it to stay very low.

I pray that Gods helps Matt to feel better and to be able to take his pills to help fight off the cancer. Please keep Matt in your thoughts and prays!
