Update - As of 4/8

Yesterday (4/8) Chad went in for the last day of treatment for his 2nd cycle (he is doing 3 cycles total). His white blood cell count is almost down to 0 again (0.6 to be exact) despite the fact that he had 3 neupogen shots last week to prevent this from happening. His doctor was not comfortable with doing treatment yesterday so his treatment had to be postponed to next Monday. What this means is that his treatment is being extended a week so instead of being done April 30th he will be done around May 7th. Last time Chad went in for a Monday treatment and his white blood cell count was close to 0 the nurse went ahead and administered his chemo and apparently was not supposed to do that - hence the reason Chad ended up in the hospital later that evening. Chad's doctor was not aware that had taken place until reviewing the notes yesterday and she was pretty upset that the nurse did that because they are not supposed to administer the treatment without talking to the doctor first when a patient's white blood cell count is that low. So basically Chad probably would not have ended up in the hospital had they not administered the chemo treatment that day knowing that his white blood cell count was almost at 0.

So.... he was happy that he didn't have to do treatment yesterday but is a little bummed that treatment is extended an extra week now. He's been feeling pretty good the last couple of days - except having some difficulty sleeping at night. Other than that he's feeling pretty good overall and keeping up a great attitude! Thank you for all of the prayers & support!
