Brendon went for his EKG/ECHO Tuesday morning (9/10/07) and everything looked great. No excess fluid or abnormal masses/growths. His heart and all valves looked great! It was so great to know that everything seems to be working like it is meant to.He started chemo again on Wednesday. This round is the shots in the thigh (6 of them), iv meds and steroids. The steroids have already started to affect him. His face is getting a little puffy again and he's been a little moody. It hasn't been too bad. He only has to take the steroids for 30 days total, so it shouldn't be too bad this time around. Friday was his first shot in the thigh for this round and he handled it like a champ! He goes to the clinic Monday, Wednesday and Friday of this week for chemo. Next week he only has to go Monday and Wednesday, then it's once a week for about 8 more weeks.
He was able to go to the Blue Angels show in Brunswick thanks to Make-a-Wish. He had so much fun. He actually got to meet the pilots and get their autographs. Below is a "movie" from the show.
