Today Mr. T starts treatment. He was given Busulfan as well as Phenytoin.
Busulfan is a chemotherapy drug that is a cell cycle non-specific alkylating agent (slows the growth of cancer cells). More specifically it belongs to a subclass of alkylating agents known as alkyl sulfonates. Currently, its main uses are in bone marrow transplantation, especially in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), where it is used as a conditioning drug. Busulfan can control tumor burden but cannot prevent transformation or correct cytogenic abnormalities. Though not as common, it may also be used for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL).
He will be receiving Busulfan for 4 days. So far the medication is not making him sick.
Mr. T has a wonderful appetite....and although he is homesick & wants to go back to Cheo...he is still enjoying his X-box as well as the computer games., and of course the food.
