Halfway there!!

Made it home a short while ago, Liam has completed the last of his in-patient treatments. It was a rocky one though in terms of logistics... Started yesterday morning as usual in Yawkey way for blood work, no beds ready over on Ellison 17, so started the hydration process there. Eventually made it to Ellison, but we were moved out of our room around 8pm to allow another patient to go into isolation... pretty good night, up a few times before getting up at 6am and staying up until we were discharged around 1pm. The good news however... WE ARE HALFWAY DONE WITH THE CHEMOTHERAPY!!!

No appointment next week (A real break, provided Liam stays healthy this week). Then the CT on the 19th, before we resume chemo again on the 26th. Talked in detail with Dr. Friedmann about the chemo doses, the consensus is not to increase the dosage; that we are being aggressive enough. Not sure if I'm satisfied with all the answers, so we'll address it again on the 19th. Checked in with Julie on her training - she completed 18 miles this weekend!! Thanks for all the donations that have come in!!!

I'll check back in later this week with an update..
