Treatment - Chemo Day 12, Radiation Day 8

Not a lot to report. We are one week in. Nausea med at 9:00, Temodar pill at 10:00, and radiation at 11:00. It is affecting Chip as expected. He hasn't had much nausea since the first day. He was having a bit of a headache for a few days also. These were both taken care of by raising his steroid dose. Now his big treatment symptom is fatigue. It is taken care of by a nice afternoon nap. Raising his steroid, however, did raise his blood sugar levels again. Doctor number 4 - Dr. Crow, has doubled his Metformin. Still don't see much change, but we call him again on Thursday. Josh had his tonsils taken out on Saturday, so there are two patients this week. Thanks again for all the prayers and well wishes. They are appreciated.
