One more to go...

Today, Larry had his 5th chemo treatment.  The White blood cell booster shot worked!!!  His white blood cell count is at an acceptable level for someone going through chemo.  Before his last treatment, his count was 2.4 and today it was at 6.64!  YAY!!  To keep his level where it’s at, Dr. Stein wants him to continue with another shot.  Larry explained it as “maintenance”. He’ll follow the same procedure as last time.  He’ll start the Claritin tomorrow, take another on Thursday and get the shot on Friday.  As long as the Claritin continues to take away the side effects, I’m okay with a little boost ☺  

I just got home from our 'chemo dinner' at my mom's house.  Spare ribs, truffle green beans, and scalloped potatoes were on the menu.  Luckily, for Lar, the nausea medicine works so he ate like a champ.  He's still sensitive to the cold and very tired, but as always he's a chemo trooper.

5 down…only one more to go.

Sox it to it Lar...
