As I write, Leo's already had his final chemo dose; it's all just Mesna (which protects his bladder) and hydration fluids via his IV until tomorrow morning, and then...that's it!
Who'd have thought we'd have got here? As I've said so many times, it feels like it only yesterday that Leo was diagnosed, but then on the other hand, I think PJ and I have aged beyond years!
As for Leo, he's doing okay. He has spiked a temperature again today so had some paracetamol to bring it down and to say I'm not surprised, is an under-statement. We had to call the Day Unit on Thursday to make sure that a constant temp between 37.6 and 37.9 was going to be okay for chemo this weekend. As it happens, it was but his temp is still a sign of something rumbling away. We just wonder whether there's something with his chest, the mould allergy he has or something with his line again, which has been going on since about 7 weeks ago. Perhaps we'll only know if it continues until he becomes neutropenic again in 8 to 13 days time.
So even though chemo is over this weekend, we've another cycle to keep Leo healthy through it and keep monitoring things. Fingers crossed...
