(Revisions from original post are in bold below)Jack's ANC was 912 Monday morning, which meant he could resume his chemotherapy treatment at The Valerie Center. Hooray! After the recent two-week hiatus, he has started his third phase of chemotherapy, Interim Maintenance. He will receive intensive chemo at the Center every 10 days (1, 11, 21, 31, 41). The two drugs that he receives are Vincristine and Methotrexate, both given via IV push through his port. He does NOT need to take any chemo drugs while at home during this phase of chemo--Yay!
As you can see from the pictures taken this afternoon, he looks fantastic and (apart from having leukemia!) is healthy--a real improvement from the last couple of weeks when his white blood cell count was nearly non-existent. Say a little prayer that the "expected" ANC dip that follows chemo will be brief for Jack-Jack so that he can keep enjoying sunny days like today!
