One down, three to go

Steve came home from Maine General Hospital in Augusta this morning after completing the first of four courses of consolidation chemotherapy. He has a few weeks off until he has to return to the hospital for the second course of consolidation therapy on Jan. 29.
He's pooped and not feeling too well from the chemotherapy. He has some stomach pain, the same discomfort he suffered last month during chemotherapy. At least this time he knows that the pain won't last.
Otherwise, the treatments went well without any serious problems. Hopefully he'll be up for some visitors. I know he'd like to see his friends, so please stop by. Usually he feels best in the morning and late afternoon/early evening. I think once this stomach thing resolves itself, he'll start to feel better. Fortunately his back is better.
The best thing is to call me and see how he's feeling that day. His white count has not started to drop yet, but he still can't see anyone who has a cold etc.

Mia goes back to Boston tomorrow. I'll miss her company.
