Round 6 ..... 2 more to go!

Lets just say the last round sucked....I didn't think I was going to get Steve back there today but I did with only a little kicking and screaming. After round 5 Steve had to have a Neupogen injection (G-CSF) to assist with his low white blood cell count. This by far has been the worst part of this whole entire process for him. He was sick for 7 days and 2 of those days he was in a lot of pain that kept him up all night. Finally around day 8 he started to feel better which was just in time for our vacation.


Today Steve's blood counts all looked great so this round he doesn't have to have the Neupogen injection again and Steve is so excited about that. Hopefully this round without the injection goes smoother then the last but Steve has been in bed since we got home so I am getting a little nervous that we might have a repeat of the last round.... here is to hoping he is just TIRED!

On the agenda: 2 more rounds of chemotherapy then another PETS scan just to confirm all is good and nothing has been missed. Last 3 weeks of radiation that is estimated to start the middle of December.
