First Cycle

Update posted by Leny Abalon

We already have in hand TEMOVEX temozolomide however Joppa was having a fever for days. We cannot proceed with the treatment until the main cause of the fever will be addressed. To check where infection is coming from, His urine and blood were tested. After the test we found out that it was from his urine and Joppa was given an antibiotic.

We feel like we are running out of time, his pain sometimes worsen and there is nothing we could do. He began to feel chest pain and he cant barely move his both hands because of pain. He was also having a hard time swallowing food because of sore throat and cough.

We have met pain specialist to manage the pain and food dietitian to help him gain weight since he could only eat 3 to 4 tablespoon per meal.

We prayed hard na sana lahat ng test maging ok and makiayon saaming pamilya lalo na para kay Joppa. We receieved a goodnews today, He is negative from pneumonia, his lungs are clear and normal temperature. Finally after a week of waiting for his fever to subside due to the infection in his urine we are already given a clearance for his first cycle of oral chemotherapy. Today is his first day of Oral Chemo.

To all our prayer warriors, please continue to pray for our Joppa that the oral chemo will give Joppa a better quality of life with us his family.
