Knock on wood. It's hard for me to say things like this, because then it seems like something happens... However, we went in Monday and counts were holding so we went in again on Thursday. Although his ANC was still low around 300, he seemed to be on the climb back up. Cutting his cisplatin in half sure has helped this round. I can't remember a treatment wherein he only needed one blood and platelet transfusion and didn't have an unplanned stay in the hospital. PRAY it stays that way. If so, we have till June 30th before he goes in for his last round of cyclophosphamide.
He's definitely still weak but not very nauseous and in good spirits. Like I mentioned before, he dropped weight, but I was relying on him too much and doing less feeds than I should have been. When he's not fresh off the chemo he does a great job eating on his own. He'll probably put the weight back on in the next couple weeks.
So there you have it. Almost through it!!!
Love to all.
