BEACOPP ROUND 2 DAY 3

YES, Andy was pleasantly surprised to have visitors today and the collage was a hit. Thank you for the contributions to the collage! He is in a private room as of late last night, albiet not very large and it has the tinyest TV monitor that I have seen in a hospital room. He continues to have nausea off and on, but fortunately, didn't toss his cookies today :) Having new healthcare providers this admission makes everything redundant, as he continually has to explain what helps with what, why he doesn't tolerate the alcohol based hand sanitizer that they seem to prefer to use instead of soap and water. It has been a difficult hospital stay so far, but hopefully now improving since rooming alone. He is hopeful that he will be able to go home a little earlier this course of therapy, lab numbers will be the determining factor. Tomorrow includes 1 oral chemo drug and prednisone for the next 4 days, then another 2 chemo IV treatment on day 8 plus the oral Chemo and prednisone, then the prednisone and injectable Neupogen (caused severe bone pain) YUCK!!! Its really boring in the hospital, so keep those calls and text coming!
