Plan for BEACOPP administration

The doctor came in and confirmed that the ABVD did have a good impact on the tumors but not good enough to avoid cranking up to the 7 element chemo. Andy starts tonight with most of the drugs then gets 2 of the drugs over the next week and then on day 8 we repeat today's 5 drugs. He's on the accelerated version of each meaning heavy duty. Side effects are expected to be severe. The next 7 days will be to monitor and treat the white and red blood counts and try to avoid any infections. We will see how it goes. Looking forward Andy will have 5 more sessions about 3 weeks apart each time spending at least 8 days in the hospital. How well he tolerates this weeks treatment should be a good indicator of how he will do overall.
