8/25: MRI #4 Scheduled
The folks in Houston suggested we move-up Leo's first MRI on treatment mainly because of the symptoms. They -- and we, of course -- want to find out what's going on. So Granpa Leonid (the Medical Maze Master) scheduled the MRI for 9am on Tuesday, August 29 at Lutheran General Hospital. This will be Leo's third MRI on that equipment, so we'll definitely be able to compare and contrast to previous MRIs.
A reminder to self: disconnect Leo at about midnight or so because he'll need to be sedated, which means he needs to be off treatment for about 8 hours, since he can't have anything to eat or drink. Maybe, just maybe, everyone will be able to get a decent night's rest, especially Leo.
Otherwise, Leo's blood tests this week have been good, with normal sodium and potassium levels. His hemoglobin has been on the low end, but we've started giving him more red meat and other products that supposedly help hemoglobin levels (i.e. food with iron). We actually saw a slight increase, so we'll continue doing what we've been doing. Regardless of hemoglobin, since the sodium and potassium levels have been fine, we're getting closer to the maximum dose of antineoplaston AS2-1. I've been cleared to increase it to 18mL -- just 1mL to go! At this dose, it'll be pumped for 15 minutes per cycle. So both antineoplastons now add up to 228mL, pumped for 3 hours and 3 minutes out of every 4 hours throughout each day.
