Chemo is Starting!

Late last night, Mark started feeling much, much better!!! Dr. Leidner is quite sure that he was low on cortisol. It's amazing how the body knows just how much to produce when it's under stress. Since he doesn't produce any, it's always a guess as to how much he needs--and it was much more than expected. High doses were given yesterday, along with lots of fluid. Today is night and day different from yesterday!! Infections, also, seem to be under control. so, CHEMO IS STARTING NOW!!!😃

As long as he doesn't have an allergic reaction, the next few days should be fairly boring. He will be tired, but the tough side effects won't start right away. We've been through training about what to expect, and how to take steps to stay as healthy as possible. I won't go into all of that, at least not now. 

After yesterday's blog, we wanted to get the good news out as soon as possible! With so many prayers in his behalf, it is having impact!! Maybe this isn't an appropriate analogy, but...it's kinda like, "The squeaky wheel gets the grease!" 😅
