Good Evening,
Well, Rita got through the first day of course 3 in pretty good shape. The intrathecal treatment went well and Rita has tolerated all of the chemo that was adminsitered today. It has made her kind of tired and she did take a couple of naps today. We were still able to get our mile of walking in and she seemed to eat OK. We do hope that we can maintain the gains we have made over the past few weeks as she will need the strength and energy for the transplant. Each Monday for the next two weeks will be the hardest part of this course. The rest of the week is pretty much pills and IV's - no needles as far as we know and Rita is getting much better at taking the pills. Now, we wait and see how this course of chemo affects her numbers. We are hoping that she will not get as far down as she has in previous courses but, we will have to wait and see.
I'll keep you posted as this course progresses.
Take care, Dave & Rita
