Mike got out of the hospital Friday after receiving 2 blood transfusions to increase his blood level. The doctors were also watching his white blood cell count and gave him some shots to make sure that was at the appropriate level.
He is home now and starting to get better. He is able to eat better than he has and hopefully will be able to put on some of the weight he has lost. He is done with the scheduled chemo treatments and now just has to wait a couple weeks before the doctor will do an MRI and see how well the treatments worked. If the cancer tumors are not gone, they will need to look at some of the options such as additional chemo or possibly cutting them out. We will just have to wait and see what the status is once he does the tests.
For now, he just needs to get stronger and relax. Usually this week would be when he goes back to the full week cycle, so it should be a welcomed rest. Hopefully he can get his strength back and feel much better than he has.
