This is a good day! John passed the blood test and had his treatment. He came home and went right to bed, but very happy he was able to have it. Now, we just have to wait a day or two and see what reactions he has from it.

He had two bad days last week. He was in bed one day, all day, then the next, he felt well enough to walk around the block. We walked completely around the block and he ate and drank good all day. The next day, he was in bed the whole day, feeling a bit more pain and exhausted. We were wondering if the walk was too much, but the next day he walked even more and the following day he felt good. So, we don't know what to pin the bad days on, other than the cancer itself. It is particularly hard to understand, because he had skipped a week of treatment and his body had time to recover a bit.

We will have a countdown until the final treatment and the final scan. It looks like it will be our Christmas gift, so it better be good.

Talk at you next week, after we know if he can have a treatment. OH, there have been some of you who wanted to know if there wasn't something we could do to make his blood cell count better and they told us no, only the body can fix that. If there was something, we would be digging right into it.
