We did it. We made it home. Tomorrow we return to clinic to get a dose of chemotherapy with a spinal tap, and taper down the steroids and we are officially half way finished with chemotherapy. It seems odd that we could actually be half way finished, but that's where we are. I will mention, there is a chance that things have not responded as well as hoped, and that we would need to add two more cycles of chemotherapy, which would mean we are only 1/3 of the way through. Rather not have to go there, but it's a possibility.
The injections to encourage his bone marrow to start producing white blood cells begins tomorrow. It is such an uncertain time when he is so susceptible to infection. It is so unpredictable. And after having such a bad infection last time, it's hard to have any amount of confidence that things will be just fine. We would love for them to be just fine and have no excitement. We will see. Here's hoping and praying.
