I talked to Becky today who is at UCSF with dad for the weekend. He's not been feeling great with all the chemo/meds they've been giving him, but the end is near. He has one more dose of Vincristine on Wednesday, then they're looking to release him within a couple of days after that if his counts come up enough. He's been getting the Nupagen shots to try to help boost his counts which were at their lowest today. They also gave him 2 units of blood and platelets to try to help bring up his counts and his color.
Becky says he's pretty pale right now. He's not been sleeping well at all and is really itching to go home. Hopefully with the shots and the blood transfusion his counts will bounce back up quickly and he'll be released by the end of the week.
