Thank you
12 January 2025
Just a quick update to say thank you to everyone who has supported Brennan through this page over the last few months. Brennan and his family are incredibly grateful for all the support received.
Brennan just finished round 2 of his new treatment. After the first round he ended up with neutropenic sepsis and terrible mucositis where he couldn’t even swallow without excruciating pain. He was very sick, so it was a huge relief when he got to go home in time to celebrate his 20th birthday and Christmas.
In his recent round of treatment, Brennan’s had a 20% dose reduction, equating to a whole day cut out of his cycle. He’s very happy not to have chemo on Fridays anymore! Brennan’s oncology doctor explained that the dose in his first round was too high and knocked him for 6, this is why they have reduced the dose this round.
Brennan has needed some help with his blood this week, receiving a total of 4 units of blood this past week. Over the next few days his counts will start dropping, last round it completely wiped out his immune system which is really scary, so fingers crossed with the dose reduction it won’t be so bad this time!
Brennan has been spending a lot of time with his closest friends over the past few weeks, it’s been the best medicine for him.
Things are on hold with the States until we see what this chemo does but Brennan and his family are still looking at all options available including hyperbaric oxygen - he has a scan in around 4 weeks.
