8th day update

Today is the 8th day since the last chemo and Kenny is finally starting to feel better. His appetite is better and he's smiling a little around the edges. Still not great but we'll take it :)  

New chemo treatment

Tuesday was the first of the new round of chemo. Two huge viles of red meds and a two hour intravenous drip. 6 hours later we were on our way home. Kenny also began daily chemo pills. The side effects for these meds are a little different than the other meds. Cold sensitivity, hand and foot rashes, hair loss etc. Unfortunately this one has also left Kenny feeling really sore and extremely tired. Plus he's not really eating yet. He says today was a little better than yesterday so at least he's heading in the right direction- but hopefully tomorrow he will feel like eating again. Stay tuned.
We really thank you all for your support and prayers.

CT Scan says....

Because Kenny has been feeling better and has been able to eat, we had faith that the chemo was doing what it was supposed to do... unfortunately that is not the case. Although the tumor may have decreased a little or moved some, it basically looks no different from when we began. The good news is it hasn't grown or spread. There are two standard chemo cocktails that are used for stomach cancer - we will now start the other one. The new chemo will begin May 20th and then every 3rd Tuesday til July. He will also start taking a "chemo pill" every day. This time the side effects are a little different and more than likely he will lose the rest of his hair.
Tuesday night we had a chance to visit with Kennys Big Y family and it was such a joyful night! Everyone has been so supportive and Kenny really had a great time seeing all his friends. Our spirits remain high and we will keep fighting till we get it right but the support from all of our family and friends makes each day a little easier-Thank you  :)
