We spent the 31st at Dana Farber. Rick's exam was stable and his blood test results were good - WBC up to 4.34, Platelets are at 101K, and his ANC is 3.05. We upped the Irinitecan dose by 25% since his platelets are stable. He got sick during the infusions, but recovered by the end of the day.
He's doing well, but he has had a increase in TIAs over the last few days and we don't know why.
We all really did enjoy the time off around the holidays. We needed it!
