Dad checked in the hospital last evening for another round of chemotherapy. I don't know the exact numbers yet from his biopsy (hope to find that out when I visit today), but the doctor decided to check him in immediately and start another round of chemo to try and get to remission a second time.
The bone marrow transplant can't be done unless Dad's in remission. The plan is to do five days of chemo, three weeks recovery and then go right into the transplant (early June). The donor is going to be on standby to harvest the marrow once we get closer.
All of that depends on him getting to remission this time. I will learn more today.
Mom and Dad seem in good spirits. He is in room 6907 again. If you want to send cards, send them to the house at 1420 Pepperhill Dr, Florissant, MO 63033. My Mom will take them to my Dad. As before, visitors are very WELCOME! The days are long in the hospital and, at least this week, my Dad will be feeling pretty good. It won't be for 10 days or so that the chemo will really strike and he'll probably have the mouth sores and other side effects going on.
Keep up the prayers - thank you for sticking with us. We'll be on another roller coaster ride for a while this summer, so check in with us here or call.
Love and Blessings.
