Dad's been moved to the ICU to start the Chemo. Today, they just gave him a huge dose of Prednisone to "see what it does" to his stomach same is schedualed for tomorrow. It might actually bring down his fever, which he's had for 3 weeks. They're injecting in his brain and spine preventatively. They should have him on full doses by Tuesday, just doing trial doses for now, making sure they don't explode his bowels. Baby steps for now.
The R-CHOP Schedual:
P - today (trial dose)
P+C - tomorrow
H+O - Monday
R+CHOP - Tuesday (full doses)
By Tuesday, they should start him on the full Chemo. He's hoping to be home before Saturday, which is Alex's birthday. (and grandpa's! Hi grandpa!)
More updates as they happen!
