Well today is Round twelve the last and final time with this treatment. No more oxaliplatin which is the drug that has made his feet and fingers go numb. It also is the cold sensitivity one also. We are glad he's getting off that one just in time for winter.
We do have to say it is a bitter sweat feeling considering he has done great so far. Now what chapter 3 hold for us we don't know.

I guess it can't always be all smiles. for today his blood work didn't come back well. His white counts were down so they didn't know if he was going to be able to be treated. So we sit and wait to find out the results.
The lowest they like them to be for treatment is 135 and Cody was 133. He's been fighting off a cold for the past week so they didn't know if he would be strong enough to handle it.
We were debating if we should try the oxaliplatin this time or not. Cody has had very little feeling in his fingers and toes these past weeks. He says his feet are asleep more than not and he can't do up the kids pjs at night.
The Dr. felt like everything was fine to push forward for his last and finally treatment. so we did. As you can see the Benadryl worked wonders again.
Cody will still have treatment every two weeks just minus the one drug. We have another CT on December 8th to see where the tumors are at.
Fingers crossed Tor! You're still in my prayers! No one can be all smiles all the time! I know all about that, and it's ok! Good luck, you're awesome!!!!
