First Dose..

Bobby got his first dose at noon today. Everything went well. Bobby was worried about the medication & he said he feels relieved that the beginning is behind him. There are no side effects to deal with from the drug being infused (no rigors or pain). There can be side effects which are mostly seen after the 2nd dose. They are often subtle but important (fatigue, rash, diarrhea, or headache...) Bobby was given a list of things to watch for.

So, things are going fine. Bobby has to get blood drawn at noon for the next 3 days. This is in addition to the seven times they took blood today! We are all tired...ready for bed. Thank you for all of the messages & prayers!
