Update on Cezar's Condition

We finally got an appointment with our pain specialist and he was able to prescribe a mouthwash that helps with the pain and allows Cezar to still eat by mouth (thank you so much Doc Glen sa pagprovide ng remedy habang di pa kami nakakuha ng prescription). Bad news, lalala pa raw ang sores habang tumatagal so kailangan lakasan ang loob.

Hindi maganda ang CBC results nya. Rad onco had to inject meds for his white blood cells to go up and he also gave us immunostimulants to help Cezar cope with the chemo symptoms (compromised immune system). Because of the meds he has a fever. We were just advised to drink plenty of water and do sponge bath because the fever is a sign that his white blood cells are increasing. CBC results tomorrow will tell us whether he can continue with radiotherapy and chemo.

He has really bad withdrawal symptoms because our pain specialist reduced his pain meds significantly. Withdrawal pains are so bad all he wants to do is hug me and sleep. 

Last week was great for us. This week has presented a lot of challenges. We are all exhausted and our spirits are very low but we will continue to fight. I ask for prayers for healing and prayers so we can rally on and defeat this disease. I know God is watching over us and He is not blind to our pain. I refuse to be swayed and I refuse to turn my back on Him. He is our savior and I know that he will always look out for Cezar.
