Olivers ANC is 702 today of a WBC of 1.8
All his reds are within normal range.
This means he will get his last treatment of this round tomorrow afternoon.
This consists of the vincristine via IV and the methotrexate as well, but dialed back to 80% of what he had last time since it caused all the delays with counts.
Then we get a two week break and check counts to start full maintenance.
Even though maintenance will last until July of 2013, its in 12 week cycles and designed to not keep his immune system suppressed all the time. Though there may be moments with the oral drug he has to take, but the will keep adjusting the dosage up and down to avoid this. We are excited about him eventually going back to school we hope in another month (or less?).
I am not sure when they will check his counts first after tomorrow. Possibly Friday at the earliest.
