Frustrating Morning

Today George is on Day 8 of cycle #3. Sleeping at night has been difficult for George, and last night was no exceptions. He actually fell asleep pretty well, only to be awaken at 1:30 AM with the ringing of the doorbell. After rushing to the front door, and realizing no one was in sight, we concluded it was just teens being rude. The hard part was that then we couldn't go back to sleep. As morning came George was so tired from the lack of sleep, and frustrated knowing he had a long day of Chemo ahead. We discovered as Matthew was leaving for school that our car and house had been egged in the middle of the night. I felt overwhelmed at the task of cleaning up this mess, getting the car cleaned off, and having a deadline to get down to UCLA. After a few phone calls, and the help of our neighbors Chris and Kelly we got it all cleaned up. Sadly we were not the only house on the block that had been hit.
We headed down to UCLA for the Chemo. His counts were pretty good, and even know George felt so lousy the Chemo was started. It was decided would get some extra fluids via IV to help flush out the Chemo, and keep him hydrated.
We are now done with 3 complete cycles of the Chemo. You may have noticed that I wrote out the exact way the Doctor counts the cycle. Each cycle is really 21 days during which he gets Chemo on day #1 and #8. So Chemo is day 1 then again day 8 then 7 days off starting the next cycle after day 21 is complete.
This time we will end up with an extra week off. The plan for now is that George have a repeat CT scan to see the progress, and start Cycle # 4 around September 26.
We will let you know when that is scheduled.
