I want to first thank everyone for all of the love, support and prayers you have given to me and my family. I've decided to follow the suggestions from family and friends to start a blog talking about Brad's progress and treatment. I do read everyone's emails and texts daily. However, sometimes it's hard to answer everyone back because of the amount of them I am receiving.
Brad started his first round of Chemotherapy on Monday, March 21st. He was very nervous the morning of, but after he checked in and started he realized everything was going to be fine. He has a fabulous nurse named MaryAlice, who sets him up in a private therapy suite each morning. (He gets a private suite because he is there the longest during the day) He is receiving his treatment at Tulane Cancer Center and depending on the day will be there anywhere from 4 - 6 hours.
We are already into day three and Brad is exhausted. He is very tired and says that his stomach feels different. Not so much Nausea but a growling pain. I've noticed that his appetite is slowly diminishing. For example: Monday, Tulane gave him a turkey sandwich and some soup for lunch. He ate everything, no problems. Tuesday, another turkey sandwich and soup, but he only ate the sandwich. Today, turkey sandwich and soup (I'm sure he's tired of turkey), but he only ate half the sandwich and sipped on the soup.
He said he was full and couldn't eat anymore. I also noticed at dinner last night he only ate half compared to what he would normally. He is drinking plenty of fluids and I'm trying to give him little snacks throughout the day, a small salad, some grits or some yougrt.
Brad reads every email sent to me, every facebook post on my wall and every text. He is so touched by all of the love everyone is sending his way. I'm going to do my best to update this blog daily. I figured this way we can read all of the emails and questions from everyone, but answer everyone with one response.
