Cycle 1 - week 4 summary

Will still remained seemingly symptom free from any chemo related side effects. His steroid side effect issues have remained and his behavior around these issues is the same. However, with the week off of chemo/steroids the frequency of his mood swings and behavior decreased and gave him a better quality of life. So start cycle 2 we learned that he could skip his steroid dose that he usually takes 12 hours prior to chemo and simply take the dose 6 hours prior.

We'll see if this helps in the week ahead. Will went to clinic and was 28kg which is an all time high. We have to struggle with him all day over his food intake as the steroids have ramped up his appetite dramatically.
