Adrian is finally done with his second course of 3F8 treatment today and originally he was going to be discharged tomorrow. However, he developed neutropenic fever early this morning (his counts are low at 0.16 and platelet only at 10 where he needed platelet transfusion today as well), let alone he hasn't been eating in the past few days - therefore, he will need to stay for at least another 5 days for antibiotics!!! The R.O. (Radiology Oncologist) came today to discuss baby's upcoming radiotherapy treatment. Adrian will have a total of 10 RTs (Radiotherapy Treatments) on his left abdomen both front & back incl. his lower part of the spine for a total dosage of "15 degrees". Possible long term effects includes: Poor left Renal & Liver function, Intestinal adhesions and he will be shorter than others as the radiated part of the spine may not grow normally. Well, we don't have a choice... as long as his life is spared!
