Next Big Chemo, Then Radiotherapy Starts
Sunday, July 13th, 2008Hi all,
Thanks for all the comments and emails. Moshe loves them and checks at least 3 times a day to see if messages were left for him. It’s great so please keep them coming.
Tomorrow (Monday) Moshe has his next heavy chemo session. He will be in for 3 or 4 days depending on how he is doing and we pray that he will have as few bad side effects as he has had during the last 3 heavy sessions.
After this week’s chemo we enter the 2nd phase of his treatment, i.e. radiotherapy. This will consist of 5 or 6 weeks of 5 - 10 minute sessions 5 days a week.
The radiotherapy is very different to the chemo and can have various side effects so please can we all continue to pray that Moshe will suffer no bad side effects in or after any of his future treatments, and that he may be granted a complete recovery, a refuah sheleima from Hashem.
Please remember to look at the Mitzvah programmes we have launched in the merit of a refuah sheleima for our dear Moshe. Please look at the links at the top right hand side of this page and click on the links below “Mitzvah Projects”.
A reminder, Moshe’s Hebrew name is Moshe Yair Ben Baila Tanya.
Thanks again for the incredible comfort you all continue to shower us with.
Love,
The Altschulers

What We Get Up To At The Hospital
Wednesday, June 25th, 2008Yum… More Lettuce For Lunch!
Wednesday, June 25th, 2008An Unscheduled Hospital Stay
Sunday, June 15th, 2008Hi Guys,
Last week was quite a rough week for Moshe. He landed up in hospital on Wednesday with an infection. Because the chemo affects the immune system he has to be admitted to receive intravenous antibiotics when this happens.
He felt lousy but baruch Hashem is now feeling great and will be discharged on Monday please G-d. Regular chemo continues next week with his next heavy chemo scheduled for Monday 23 June.
Once again thanks for all the prayers and wonderful support from all our super friends
Love, the Altshculers
Out of the Hospital!
Wednesday, June 4th, 2008Moshe had his 2nd big chemo treatment this week: went into hospital on Monday and came home tonight.
Well, everyone’s prayers must be working, as his side effects have been really minimal compared to the first “big blast” 3 weeks ago. He’s been running around at home this evening already… can’t keep our Moshe down for long!
Moshe is beginning to look like GI Jane - still has long eyelashes and dark eye brows - gorgeous! He is coming to terms with the look - think it was hard at first but he is becoming easier with it. We think he looks very cool actually!
Moshe B”H has not been feeling much nausea today and yesterday - just very tired and dizzy. He had a good 3-hr sleep yesterday afternoon which was great.
He was so full of beans Monday riding on the drip pole around the hospital. We could have been thrown out. Then the chemo kicked in and Moshe slowed down. Shuuw!
