Weekly follow up 8/2

All good news today. Labs all looked good. Platelets still heading in the right direction. Kidney and liver function both normal. Hydration seems a lot better.

Next follow up on Thursday, 8/8. That’s a big day: labs, visit with oncologist to get some sense of what’s next, new drug starting which will be taken for a year as part of treatment, and then treatment again which begins cycle 2 of 6.

Just an FYI- the treatments are systemically referred to as chemotherapy (like Kleenex, or Xerox). Even on Eric’s appointments, they’re shown as chemotherapy. Treatment has changed and for many, the drugs now administered are not technically chemotherapy drugs, they’re immunotherapy drugs. Both of the “chemo” drugs Eric is getting are technically immunotherapy drugs. So I try to refrain from saying chemo but the process is the same, the drugs are just different. When I refer to “treatment”, I’m referring to what you would normally think of as chemo.
