Today is a huge day! We find out so much information today that I am a little nervous. We are going in hoping for the best and expecting nothing. Here is how our day will break down.
We meet with Dr. Rosen at 11 am to get the results from the PET Scan and CT scan. That is when we will see what the future holds for us and what the chemo has been able to do to the cancer. At 1:30, Caleb will get his 1st LP of this cycle. It will be a bit different though, which we hope doesn't freak Caleb out. They said they are slammed today where they normally do LP's due to the holiday and wanting to try and get everyone in before the weekend so the doctors do not have to come in on Monday. So, they are going to do his LP in the clinic. This is nothing new for them, but they do it a bit different. Caleb will have medicine to help him not know exactly what is happening and make him loose, but it will not be full sedation. Once again, he will have no idea and will more than likely be asleep. But, it is something new and he doesn't do well with change. So, that is a prayer concern for sure.
After the LP, we will get moved to the 7th floor to start our next cycle of chemo. We have no idea for how long...it is all based on what they found on the scans. We are expecting 4-5 days, but who knows. But, sometime this afternoon, we will be checking in to a room and starting his 3rd cycle of chemo. As soon as I know our room number and what the cycle will look like we will be sure to post something.
There are so many nerves today, yet there is also a peace. God has been so faithful and no matter what we find out today, we know that we are not facing it alone! We have no idea what the next part of the journey looks like, but we will continue to walk one day at a time! This isn't always easy, but we are learning so much about being content and realizing that God is big!
We welcome your prayers! I will keep you posted!
Grace and Peace
Praying for you guys!
