12/3/18 Update

It’s been a long week. Finished second round of infusion chemotherapy last week, but developed fever in response. Came to Emergency Room at MDA Friday evening and was admitted to the hospital  for observation and treatment. Started intravenous injection of antibiotics and found no infection. Fever appears to be response to chemotherapy drugs. Good news is I wasn’t placed in isolation, and I am being discharged this evening after receiving a blood transfusion.

Overall, progress is good, and I look forward to receiving stem cell transplant early next year. I will find out more when I see the Stem Cell Transplant Doctor on December 12.

Keeping the Faith,

John L.
