Reassessment CT today. Adrian threw up most of the sedation fluid and dye but still ended up sleeping because of tiredness. High temp for the first time today and needed to draw blood for blood culture. Amazingly, Neutrophils went up to 1.47. We had a long discussion with Dr. Chan on Adrian's treatment - because 1) the presence of the MYCN gene and 2) the presence of cancer in bone - Adrian's definitely classified as stage 4 with survival rate of only 45%. The chemotheraphy will be switched from low dosage to high dosage because he's in the high risk group and the first one he had in Feb didn't count. The entire treatment will last about a year! It'll be a long battle for the three of us!!
