Round One ... DONE!

Andrew is very happy to be home again. It really is not much fun in hospital even though they look after him very well at Stanford. He is also very pleased to have completed a cycle of the chemotherapy. He has three weeks without chemo before going back for round two. The chemo knocks the blood counts down further (not that there is anywhere for them to go as they are already rock bottom) but it means we go out to the clinic at Stanford over the next three weeks to do labs and transfusions as required. After round two and before round three they plan to do a bone marrow biopsy to see how it looks. Hoping the chemo is doing its stuff. Andrew is a first in many ways for this treatment but the doctors all say that they have never seen anyone with the degree of disease etc. that he has look anywhere near as good as he does! On Friday a new physician come in and had to ask us which one was the patient. He has also had a few short walks the last couple of day (gets a good burst of energy after what he fondly calls a few free pints at Friday happy hour).
