Today was a hospital day. He was very brave and took the access to the port well. He is still afraid that it is going to hurt, but because he has the numbing cream it is more of a mental thing than actual pain.
We asked them about the leg pain, and they said a side affect of the one chemo medicine is leg numbness, so that might have been what he was experiencing and didn’t really know how to express it. They keep an eye on that, and if he keeps having it, they might back down a little on that medicine.
He didn’t have an appetite tonight, and ended up getting sick at bedtime. Poor little guy. Hopefully he will feel better tomorrow.
