Treatment Day!

Today was the big day! John received his first treatment. But first I wanted to tell everyone some good news! He got his results from his CT Scan back today and Doc said that his big tumor has not grown. The tumors are the same and the Avastin should keep them like that.

It wasn't really very hard for him, he just had to take Tylenol and Benadryl. Then he had to sit in a recliner chair for about 2 hours. The nurse gave him his IV and we just waited. She said there shouldn't really be any side effects. As of now John is feeling tired and he said he feels like he is having anxiety, but he's not. If he's up playing video games I think he is OKAY!! :)

The Doc said he gets his next treatment in 3 weeks and it will be shorter because at first they have to give it to him slow in case he has a reaction. He will get another CT Scan in 6 weeks. So for now we can try our best to go on with our normal lives and hopefully the medicine is working it's wonders on John!!
