Cassie took Beckett to his second chemotherapy appointment today. Beckett did fine this time too, and apparently the only big trick is getting him to hold still for two and a half hours. He watched 10 minutes of every movie that they had on the TV system at the hospital, called almost everyone that he knows on the phone, read, blew his nose, and wiggled.
Trish Murphy, the Nurse Practitioner who works with Dr. Fisher (and Trish is amazing, by the way) told us that Beckett has an ear infection, but that he will just have to work through it, although it'll take a while because the chemo will sap his immune system. His blood counts today were good and there were no other problems. Beckett didn't even cry when they accessed his port.
We also heard from Trish that Beckett's MRI showed no change from early July. This is very good news, but not so good that we can stop the treatment. The tumor board at the hospital will review the MRI and we may learn more.
Beckett continues to be happy and still seems unfazed by the treatment.
