Second chemo

I am sure Laurie will post when she gets access to the Internet. What she told me is that Andy did get chemo today along with all the wonder drugs to help with nausea and other side effects. However his white count is so low they debated if he was well enough but in the end he got it. He is also now on an antibiotic and asked to wear a mask to avoid catching anything. He will need to come back next week to check his white count again and to have a port inserted. Today took an hour to get the IV in and he was poked several times trying. We gave him advice on how to build up white count but he isn't too receptive. Similar on the masking up! We will see if he absorbs the info and decides to try some remedies.
