Maintence #1 finally started.....

You would think with being house bound due to COVID-19 that I would have updated before now.

On Wednesday, March 25 we started Maintenance #1.  He has 10 to go through with each of them being a 84 day block.  So we still have a few years of chemo but it is mostly at home pills once a day with some steroids added in every so often...so not crazy.  We have to head to the clinic every 28 days.

Which brings me to this whole crazy COVID-19 thing going on.  Just when we were ready to get back normal...Caine going back to.school and not having to.be as aware of our surroundings this happens.  So nothing new for us here as we have been living this way since July.  But still staying isolated from everything and everyone is hard as we could still have visitors  if they were healthy.  So both boys are enjoying no.school (still do a tad at home), xbox and playing outside in the driveway or bike riding.  If it is cold we still try to.get activity in somehow......

Stay healthy and smart everyone.  Hopefully summer brings us some fun!!

DI IS DONE!!!! FRONTLINE IS DONE!!!

As of March 6, 2020 Caine finished Delayed Intensification which is the end of his Frontline treatment.  Most happy to be done with the Erwina shots.  He had 72 total over the course of Frontline.  We are now just waiting for his counts to jump back up so we can start Maintenance.  Maintenance is a lighter mostly at home chemo that will go for around 2 years.  We has to go celebrate and went to Caines favorite restaurant Olive Garden so he could have his stuffed mushrooms and fettuccine and mushrooms with Alfredo. 

With his immune system and COVID-19 we are being extra cautious.  May continue to keep him home from school and will define be staying away from crowds.  Why does this stupid virus have to be out now when we are so close to getting back to a new norm. 

We will continue to celebrate being done frontline and moving forward regardless   nothing will take this away from us.
