Round #3 Underway

Hello to everyone in cyberland.

I am right now sitting in a comfy chair in the Adult Infusion Center getting round #3 of my chemotherapy treatment. We were delayed a bit in getting started this morning because my bloodwork from Friday did not reach the minimum necessary to get the juice. Since the specific things they are looking for can rise rapidly, they did a blood draw first and had the results back quickly. My white blood cells (WBC)were just good enough and the most important WBCs, Neutrophils were even better so I was able to get started. The other good news is that because I tolerated the Rituxin so well last time I was able to start at a higher rate of infusion (100 mL/hr instead of 50) and advance at a faster rate (100 vs. 50) which boils down to getting out of here sooner. Hooray!

In other matters, you can see be the poll results that design #1 was the favorite. I have asked the designer if he can tweak the font of the work "Team" to more closely match the "A" and should be getting the final art for approval today or tomorrow. The final price is $16 including shipping. So, if you want a shirt, please email me with how many and what sizes. Sizes available are Youth XS to XL and Adult SM to 5X. I would like to submit the final order by Oct. 13th ensure they arrive in time for the Lymphomathon so the deadline to order is 12:00AM PST on Sunday, Oct 12th!

Thanks to all!

  1. Very good 3 down and you moving along great. Hope this one goes as well as the last 2 have. We're at $2955. as of now, with the walk-a-thon. Katie has raised the goal to $5000 and we have 6 1/2 weeks left, I think that we can easily do that, if we all work to bring in donations. Love to both boys. Love, Jen
