Things are getting pretty predictable now. On the week of the infusions (on every other Monday), Jeff starts to feel bad around mid-day on Wednesday, really tired on Thursdays and starts to 'recover' on Friday, and feels pretty good again on Saturday. We've learned to do certain things to help mitigate the symptoms, although they have varied a little between treatments. Last week, the symptoms were less severe, although there was much more coughing this time. This week will be for followup blood test and EKGs and we will go home on Thursday. After that, we will just have visits to MDA on Mondays, for infusions one week and followup tests the next week. After the 4th cycle (8 weeks) are complete, a scan will be done to see how Jeff is responding and we will go from there. Probably won't be many more posts (unless something unusual happens) until results from the scan are received. A big 'thanks' to everyone for their concern and prayers.
