Wednesday June 13

Day 7 of the 8 day chemo routine. Today is just the two P's with tomorrow being the B&O. Andy has had B before and the side effects from O are usually just bathroom related. Andy's blood work today is really good. Doc says he will start neupogen tomorrow night in advance of the counts tanking and will continue in patient for a week to monitor. Overall Andy has tolerated the rigor well. Last nights 11pm cocktail of Ambien and Ativan helped with the best sleep possible(given 4 hr vitals and iv beeping and medicine at 6am) He likes me to get hot chocolate about 9pm from the downstairs kiosk but today will be the last time for that. No outside food once he's on neupogen.
