Checking In On George

January 26, 2014

Hello, Thanks for checking in.  I'm thrilled to say that George is doing better.  He had to delay his second round of chemo due to a hospitalization for exhaustion and dehydration.  He started again last Friday.  He seems to be holding his fluids, having gone eight days without IV fluids at this time.  That is a record !!! It's usually three days and back to the Infusion Center for four hours of stuff to buff him up for a few days.

He is feeling mentally and physically stronger and eating well.  Chemo will continue for three more sessions and then a week off; and on again for two weeks.  After that, we'll see how things look and start another type of chemo for a while.  Dr. is very optimistic.  Kidneys will always be an issue; but for now, we are happy to be progressing in a positive way.  Thanks for the prayers, positive vibe, and emotional support;  and to Jim, especially, for all you've done to give us peace of mind.j
