Numbers good at Dana Farber...but

Ricky's CBC (blood test) was good yesterday, his platelets, ANC, White blood cells, etc were all okay, so he was able to get the Avastin. He did well, no nausea, ate a huge amount of Chinese food for lunch.

That was the good news, the bad news is that the staff noticed that he has really slowed up - he was only able to answer some of the questions asked of him, and everything seems to take more effort. Even getting out of the car requires a few minutes before he is able to exit, and he needs assistance with many things now that used to be so easy. As a parent, it's very hard to watch..........

We're going to Vermont for the weekend, it's one of his favorite places, so we'll make another trip up there.

It is peak foliage in Vermont this weekend. I know you will all enjoy the getaway. All good news is welcome. Warm thoughts and prayers for Ricky from Nancy James
