Matt started chemo again yesterday. He is trying Xeloda again. Matt and Dr. Holen decide that the Xeloda seem like it slowed the cancer down the most from all the other chemo he has tried. He started yesterday with Calcium Chloride and Dexamethasone and magnesium and Zofran before they gave him the Xeloda. After several hours of Xeloda he got the Calcium Chloride and Magnesium sulfate. The Calcium and Magnesium will hopefully help him with handling the coldness. He is going to try this for a few times to see if it helps.
Today Matt said he is tired and he feel naueous. He was going to go home and try and get a nap.
With this type of chemo he goes his first day to Johnson Creek to get it IV way then the next 6 days he takes 6 Xeloda pills in the morning and 6 Xeloda pills in the evening. Then he has a week off and he starts all over again. He goes to Johnson Creek on December 1 for round 2 of Xeloda. I pray this will help slow the cancer down from growing.
Thank you for all your continue prayers. Please pray for Matt to handle the Xeloda and the coldness. He is looking forward to being able to snow plow this winter (hopefully!).
