First step is fine
Well maurice has endured the first stage of high does chemotherapy reasonably well. I little a-fib, anemia and other assorted ailments has weakened him a bit, but he is going back to the Jewish Home tomorrow.
The next shoe has started to drop and we can expect things to worsen later this week. On Thursday he will undergo a chemo treatment directly injected into his spinal cord. Ouch!! Later this week, his blood counts will be severely comprimised. This of course is expected, however, when the white counts are very low he is suseptible to infection. In the past he has handled this step rather well, so we are confidant he can get through this diificult period once again.
Maurice continues to be an inspiration for everyone he comes in contact with. When I ask him how he is doing, he responds by asking me "how am I doing?" or "how is the family doing?". He continues to inspire his hospital roomates.
Good luck dad.
