Revised Chemo Plan

Clarification and correction on Ethan's treatment plan or as it is referred to at the hospital Ethan’s Road Map:

The Chemo part is like an Outline with the Roman numerals ( I., II., III.) represent what we are calling “rounds” and the each round has what the hospital calls “Cycles” of Chemo (A. and B.) The kind of Chemo he receives during cycle A is different than Cycle B.

With that in mind here is the Plan. Again this is the plan and the chances of us staying in line with the plan are slim to none. Based on the truthful advice of those that do this all the time and are willing to be upfront and honest. We are setting the expectation that we will not be done with this till later dates than listed below and then it will take a good year for things to recover (i.e. his strength, chemo fog, etc..)

Here is the Road Map:

I.               Round 1

a.     Cycle A  Done

b.     Cycle B  Done

MRI

II.             Round 2

a.     Cycle A, December 18, 2013  Done

b.     Cycle B, January 8, 2014

MRI

III.           Round 3

a.     Cycle A, January 29, 2014

b.     Cycle B, February 19, 2014

MRI

IV.           Radiation starts March 5, 2015 (5 days a week for 4 weeks)

Again we don’t expect this to go as planned but hope that it will.

Ethan is doing well and has started back up doing home school again. His eyes are still steadily improving however they are not yet good enough to play video games or read. He can make out letters and words but it seems to be like trying to read the letters of the distorted images (usually letters) on a web page that makes sure you are not a computer. Reading an entire page of that would tire me out too. Still lots of laughter and joy in the home.
