Hello everybody! We are home from HUP! Round 8 is complete! We are so excited that he has completed all of his rounds. Yesterday, he had his Neulasta shot and bloodwork. He will have bloodwork and his intrathecal dose of Ara-C (chemo. in the head port) on Thursday morning. He hasn't been feeling sick; mostly, he's just been tired. He hasn't wanted to sleep a lot, just rest his body.
We will have a follow-up with Dr. Andreadis the week after Labor Day to discuss the plan for follow-up care/treatment.
Rich is resting up, hoping to go back to work part-time as soon as he feels up to it. He thinks maybe mid-September.
I'm getting ready to start school again. Next week will be here before I know it!

Will be anxious to read your posting to see what type of preventative care Richard will need to do. I'm sure it's bigger than huge for you to now be able to start thinking of life again on the OUTSIDE of cancer and HUP :) Happy for you both and continue to pray!
Lovingly,
Kim Zim
Hip-hip-hooray! Things sound good to me! So glad you are only feeling tired and not sick at the same time.
Remember, call on me anytime for any "taxi service" or other needs.
We're here for you!
Keeping up prayers,
Love,
Aunt Paula
Richard,
Congratulations on completing your chemo treatments. How relieved you must be! Now you need to concentrate on getting all your strength back and your hair as well!!! We wish you the very best in this endeavor and, of course, good news from your doctor.
Daphne, you have certainly been a trooper through all of this and a reason for Richard to keep on fighting. Good luck as you begin a new school year.
God bless you both.
Love, Aunt Helen
