cont'd

It is now about 2p. When Dirk came for his blood work this morning some of the counts were off a little. So they decided to give him another shot of neupogen today and Elly will give him another round tomorrow a.m. and they will check his counts again tomorrow. If they are satisfied they will harvest more of the stem cells tomorrow. The target count of the total collection is 4 million stem cells. At present they have 0.7 M.  They can do the transplant with less if needed. So we keep going. It's another twist in the erratic course of the treatment of CLL.  Again, cancer sucks.
