Chemo on Hold

Today Matt went to Johnson Creek for another round of Chemo except he was no allow to have it. Matt started urinating blood yesterday. The nurse called the doctor and they decided that Matt needed to see an Urologist. The Urologist from Watertown was out until Monday. They found an Urologist in Fort Atkinson that was in Matt's network for Insurance. Matt saw Dr. Christopher Manakas . He reviewed Matt's history and asked him a lot of questions. He did a quick physical on Matt. He decided since all Matt's labs from yesterday were good he was going to treat Matt for an Infection.

He sent Matt home with a prescription for a possible infection. He is to drink lots of water and watch for bleeding if it worsens or he he were to urinate blood clots to call the on call doctor right away. If blood clots were to come out he would feel lots of pain. So far since Matt got home his urine has gotten more normal and less blood.

Doctor Holen moved up Matt's CT Scan and Tumor Marker test for Monday, Jan 3. Then we will meet with Doctor Holen on Wednesday, Jan 5 to see what the results were. Then he will have chemo startingagain on Jan 5.

I am asking for prayers that it is an infection and the pills take it away. I pray that Matt's tests on Monday will show that the Chemo he has been doing its job and is shrinking the cancer tumors!! I trust in God that he will take care of Matt!
