chemo starts again 12/10/12

on December 10 Skylo started a new round of chemo in the clinic which was an outpatient procedure this time , that was kind of good news ,before they did the chemo he was sadated and they put another PIC line into his arm , the chemo seemed to be going pretty well the first day , he was actually pretty happy

this was a different drug than they used the first time around and by the second day Skylo was back as a patient in the hospital , it turned out that he is highly allergic to the new kind of meds , he was so miserable , he had huge hives all over his body and could not even stand to be touched , it was horrible to hear him cry over the phone , but they still finished the chemo for three more days but he was an inpatient for almost two weeks , he would not eat or drink , he couldn't sleep , he was so uncomfortable , mom couldn't even touch him

they will still use the same medication but give him massive amounts of benadryl and steroids to hopefully stop the reaction from being so severe , i just did not understand why they just couldn't use a different drug but I'm not a Dr
