Round Two

"The future doesn't belong to the faint-hearted; it belongs to the brave."
--Ronald Reagan

Jack returned to the hospital this morning to undergo his second round of intensive chemotherapy. While he receives some chemotherapy drugs orally every day, today was a partial repeat of Round One. It involved receiving Vincristine through his portacath and Methotrexate using a needle inserted into the fluid surrounding the spinal cord. In addition, the doctors performed a bone marrow aspiration to see if the leukemia is responding to treatment. Jack handled everything in his trademark positive, brave manner. The Baileys are eager to receive the results of the bone marrow procedure tomorrow. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
