Today marked the fifth of ten treatments in this first phase of chemo - we're halfway there! We did receive a welcome surprise at clinic today, as we found out that Grant will be receiving only one med (vincristine) instead of his normal two for this round of chemo and next. Today's clinic did take longer than expected though, as Grant's broviac site showed signs of infection - probably the result of air and moisture sneaking in when he's pulled off the dressing. In addition to administration of an antibiotic, Grant is now sporting a stylish mesh 'shirt' to try to prevent him from exposing the site...let's hope it works! Damon started laughing hysterically when the nurse fitted the mesh on him - - I think the picture below says it all (you can probably surmise why Damon was laughing so hard & mimicking the thumping of club music).
The Oncologist is extremely happy with the way Grant's responding to the treatment, and he seemed pretty happy to hear that we're not seeing too many side effects nor changes in behavior. Five more treatments before the MRI to see if the chemo cocktails are working!

Grant is around such stylish people all the time, so he has to keep up with the wicked mesh crop top! LOVE IT!
