We just finished an 8 hour lab, dr. appointment, and chemo treatment day. It would have been longer, but they decided to delay part of it until tomorrow. It seems his overall blood count should be 40, but his is only 26. Tomorrow, they will transfuse him in an effort to elevate/restore his counts.
The plan still is to finish this round Thursday (July 9), and then wait until August 19 to do another CAT scan. At this point Dr. Keedy is cautious in her comments on his prognosis. She said that she would like to comment after she has seen his scan in August. The 25% shrinkage is a very good thing, but we will wait and see "how good" that is.
It sure seems odd to be here again at the Hope Lodge. We are not in the same room, nor on the same floor, nor do we have the same view that we had for 7 1/2 weeks prior. There are also so many new faces, many new stories, and so many more victims of this dreaded disease.
Enjoy this lovely afternoon and night that God has provided.
Love,
Cathy
