Good news is Dr. Aguilera was able to plan all Nolan's chemo to be outpatient :-) The hard part is it's everyday next week :-( Nolan will get infusions of cytoxan and topotecan Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday. Wednesday will be the longest day because he will get his IVIG.
Driving back and forth everyday sounds like ALOT but it is really important to Nolan to be home as much as possible. The following week is when we expect his blood counts to start dropping. So right before Christmas he will need to go in the clinic and get his counts checked and receive a neulasta shot. The neulasta shot will help his ANC ( ANC is the measure of the number of infection-fighting white blood cells) bounce back quicker.
I know this is short and hopefully not confusing...
I'm trying really hard to keep everyone Informed as much as possible. It's going to be a difficult week next week but please pray that everything will go smoothly.
