Chemo Round #2

Wed, Oct 24th, 2007 11:21pm by dkulp

Just a quick note that Laura and I spent the day in Northampton for her second round of chemotherapy. As is standard practice, Laura’s blood was checked in advance and her white blood cell counts were way up since the nadir a week ago. “Excellent” levels according to her oncologist. So that means she’s in good shape for another round.
It was a long day, but fine. Laura slept mostly and continues to do that at home. We know what to expect this time and she was given a new nausea drug, too. I’ll post later to let you know how she’s handling it.
(10 to 1 in the bottom of the fifth! Go Red Sox!)

    Good news to hear her counts are recovering before the next treatment….the nausea drugs used now are so much better than they used to be….we are watching the Sox too, Bobby Keilty that plays back up to JD Drew is married to a girl originally from HG, her Dad is one of our good friends, Bobby played some during the playoffs and hope he’ll get to play some during the series, watch for him! Give Laura a hug for me..love Janice

    Glad to hear some good news about Laura. And, in light of my new hometown and season-long fandom, I would be remiss if I did not add, GO ROCKIES!
