We will be coming home Wednesday~Thanks be to God!!!!
Justin's heart shows some scaring, and he has a delayed electrical communication between the upper part of his heart and the bottom part, (these will never go away, but should cause no problems). But all is getting back to normal. His heart rate, (after seven days is now about 100 when he brushes his teeth:) the current heart rate has slowed down and he has had no palpitations today.
The oncology team has decided that the Bleomycin will not be given again!!! They think he did have some kind of allergic reaction.
The only "bad news" is that this will not be his last "round" session of chemo/cancer treatment, (which they did start today, so far he is doing great). He will get chemo tomorrow, before he leaves and will have a schedule for the rest of the week at Mid Coast Hospital.
Remember that he was only going to have 3 rounds or cycles of chemo BUT because he can no longer get the Bleomycin, they will add another round of chemo. He will only get E=Etoposide, and the P=Platinol a.k.a. Cisplatin- which is the one that is causing problems with his hearing, (in regards to his hearing the Doctors here in Dana Farber/ Bringham Women's have said that it should come back to normal and the ringing should go away which is a little different from the Maine Audiologist belief).
Justin's new regime will not have the
B= Bleomycin
He will just have these: E= Etoposide
P=Platinol
Tim and I went for a walk in the city, (just up the road from the hospital). It is a sunny day, but cold here in Boston. I was able to go to the "Mission Church". Here are some pictures:
Blessing to you all, I am praying for all of you!
