Day 4

Day 4, 16NOV08 we saw a little light at the end of the tunnel. Joshua's labs were consistently better and we saw his chest xray for the the day and the tumor had reduced by about 30% . Josh received his first major chemotherapy (2 drugs) at 1:00 pm. He tolerated the drugs very well and had no ill side effects. He slept most of the afternoon. After his evening labs we were happy to hear that he would not need the dialysis that had been scheduled for tonight. He has continued to show improvement, His Oncologist and Nephrologist were all smiles and very positive.
