Well, all of Edie's counts were stable this morning, which means they didn't improve, but neither did they get any worse.
I guess that's good, but............
Anywaze, the doctor gave Edie the OK to go home, armed with a bag full of drugs including Procrit, Neupogen, and some other drugs mainly to counteract the effects of the chemo (Velcade and Doxil) which she will be receiving for the next couple of months.
It's amazing, that you have to take so many extra drugs to counteract the effects of the chemo (which is intended to kill all the cancer cells, but in the process destroys many good cells as well), after which you're expected to get better. Sounds a little counter intuitive to me, but then again, no one ever said medicine was an exact science.
Only time will tell.

We are done for now with the negotiations and will begin again in September.
Give Edie my best.
