cody has finally started this next cycle of chemo!
temodar- is given in a 28 day treatment cycle. remember, it is an oral pill, so he will take his dose every evening for 5 days. he started last night, so his treatment schedule will be wednesday-thursday-friday-saturday-sunday. then he will have 23 days off and start the cycle again.
he is to take the temodar on an empty stomach, at bedtime, and he is on two different anti-nausea medications to help with symptoms.
just like anyone else going through chemotherapy, temodar can lower blood cells that help your body fight infections and help blood to clot. this may cause it easier for cody to bleed from any type of injury or easily get sick from being around others who are ill.
blood counts will be monitored through routine lab work.
