We are celebrating lots of "lasts" this month. This was Grant's LAST chemo infusion at the clinic. He has completed his LAST week of steroids. Now, we are just counting down to his LAST dose of oral chemo on Aug. 20th. Then, Grant is officially finished with treatment. A day we all thought would never come and now it's so close! Grant is so excited and we are all excited for him. I look forward to seeing how good he is going to feel without all that medication in his system. Good times ahead....
Looking forward: Grant will continue to go to the clinic for a blood check every 4 weeks for the first year. Each year after that, he will go less and less. However, he will continue to see an oncologist regularly for the rest of his life. He will have to take his Bactrim (antibiotic) for 6 months after completing treatment to allow his immune system to recover. We will leave his port in his chest for a few months and then he will have surgery to remove it.
Thank you all so much for your prayers throughout this entire journey. Please continue to pray for Grant as he finishes treatment and adjusts to his new "normal".
Also, don't forget to get your tickets to the Cats game for Aug. 26th. We hope to see you all there to celebrate with Grant!
