Bob went into the hospital on Wens. the 18th. We meet with Dr Cashen then waited for him to get a room. He didn't get a room until 6:45 pm. He received his worst dose of chemo on wens. night. They told he would feel like he would have a bad headache. He described it as like having a bad hangover. They waiting a day and yesterday he received another dose of chemo. According to the schedule he should receive his stem cells on Tuesday. Then he will have to just sit and wait until his blood counts get high enough for him to go home. Dr. Cashen stated that he will not get out until at least 3 weeks. I am sure he will be stir crazy by then. We are over the biggest hump after this. He will return to see Dr. Cashen after a week he is discharged. He will then have a two more doses of Rixtumib. These will be as outpatients. After this he should not have to be admitted for anything else. After the Rixtumib, they will put his name in the computer and be randomized on receiving the velecaid.
Thank you for all of your prayers and thoughts.

Thanks for the info Trish. I have been checking daily to see how Bob was doing. Sounds like all is going in the right direction. It is easy for us to say that and we have no real clue how he is feeling, but just so he knows that we are thinking of him and hoping he get's out soon. We'll stop by again and see him. best of luck Tiger. We love you !!
Hey Trisha, thanks for keeping us all up to date with how Bob is doing. We think about you all very often and are certainly keeping you all in our prayers. The new pictures on the blog are great. Take care.
