Update
My husband started induction therapy on 7/27, so he is now in the third week of treatment, the chemo lasts one week, but it really does knock your counts down so they keep you another three weeks. Other than one day of a fever it has been relatively quiet, some minor mouth sores, but he really only skipped one day of meals when he had a fever. He has had about 6 units of blood and three units of platelets. The hardest part is waiting for the next BMB which they do as an outpatient a week after he is discharged and we just have to believe that the chemo has worked. He continues to do his laps around the floor to keep up his strength and is looking forward to being released after another week and a half.
