3rd Chemo Session

Update posted by Brian Andanar

Hi everyone. I'm halfway through my treatment, just three more and hopefully it all goes well. Last July 23, 2018 I underwent my second PET-CT and the results were promising. It showed that most of my tumors in the body were gone and some decreased significantly in size.


I just finished my third chemo session last July 27-29, 2018. It went smoothly and I had no allergic reactions during the infusion of the chemo drugs but I noticed that after each session I experienced different kinds of side-effects. A day after my first session, I was nauseous and my body was very weak, I had to stay in bed all day. Then on the second post-chemo session, I was not able to sleep because of severe vomiting and diarrhea that lasted all night. Fortunately I was able to hydrate and eventually I was able to recover after 2 days. Recently, I had watery stools which lasted for a week, I opted to test my stool for fecalysis just to be sure and the results showed no parasites which was a good thing. I just had to adjust my diet in order to prevent dehydration and further stomach upset. Overall, I'm feeling ok and I'm able to adapt with the changes in my body.

Once again, thank you so much for your endless support and prayers. Words are not enough to express my gratitude for all your help. Please continue to pray for me because this battle is not yet over. Thank you so much. God Bless us all.



Thank you Lord for all the blessings and for giving me strength and a positive mindset.
