Are we finished yet?

I am sure this was a question to Bob's nurse all weekend. Bob finally was able to come home Sunday. He is feeling a little queasy still. Hopefully the nausea medicine will kick in to help that. Today Bob received his Neulasta shot. This is a shot is to boost his Marrow production. One of the side effects is his bones may ache a little. By easter, He may be feeling a little worse due to a drop in blood count. At this time, he will need to be awary of anyone feeling sick or has anything he can get. His immune system will be very low at this time. He may even feel weak. Our next time will be April 2. They say that this will not as bad as the first time. Due to fact, The first round will attack everything but the second will attack what is left over. Bob is noticing a difference in throat already. Soon the nodules should shrink even more.

A BIG thank you to all of your prayers and thoughts.
