Welcome to the next Thriving Not Just Surviving blog post. This post is written by Maureen, it has been a while so I will provide an update on everything.
If you remember, Greg began chemo in February 2019. After enduring the chemo for 8 rounds, at the end of July, the doctor decided to give his body a break to recover. At this point he had been experiencing extreme fatigue. After two stable scans and no signs of growth, the doctor decided to end Greg’s chemo treatments for the time being. The plan is to scan every three months to watch the tumor and lymph nodes for any changes. If things start to grow or change a new treatment will be started. In the meantime, Greg is off treatment.
Greg has remained seizure free, praise God! He has been meeting with his neurologist every two months and we are continuing to find the best medication regimen. The doses of medicine remain high and Greg is working through the sedating effects.
Through all of this, Greg continues to work remotely. He logs time when he can and takes naps as needed to give his body the rest and recuperation it needs. The doctor said the chemo effects can persist through six months after treatment has stopped. He stopped treatment at the end of July, but the fatigue and nausea linger.
Thank you for the continued prayers.
