My apologies for not posting sooner. The past week, or so, we have been focused on watching Georges temp, and recuperating from the first round of the new drugs. The main symptom George experienced from the new drugs was overwhelming fatigue. The first few days it was hard for him to even get out of bed. Mid week he spiked a fever, and it was decided he would start another round of Cipro. He really dislikes the way the Cipro makes him feel, but it has kept him home and out of the hospital so that is good.
We also found out that next Monday, August 1st, the Stent will be replaced. The procedue will be at UCLA done by endoscopy. It's out-patient and he will be the first case that morning.
As I'm typing this, Dr. Wainberg came to say that Georges WBC is too low for him to get both Chemo's today. He is concerned that his counts will go even lower so he will get one Chemo today, and a daily Neupogen injection at home for the next six days.
By the way, next week will be an off week for Chemo due to the Stent replacement on August 1.

George,
ReplyDeleteKeep a stiff upper lip. You have a lot of people out there praying for your recovery. Hopefully the side affects of these procedures are a prelude to getting better.
We are thinking of you and love you very much.
Love,
Uncle Bill
Hi Bovey Pal,
ReplyDeleteI think about you and others daily and are always included in my prayers. Hopefully these difficult days will be history and some sembalance will return soon. Life certainly is a mystery.
Love & hugs, Sylvia/Sassy/Bovey gal
Just want to let you all know out thoughts are always with you. We trust the neupogen will work and elevate those WBC. Stay cool, rest easy and receive our well wishes!
