Feels like he should get a prize, right? Well they did offer him a blood transfusion today but I’m thinking that had more to do with his rapidly dropping red blood cell count and not as a result of his impressive chemotherapy number. In true stubborn fashion, he...

#49 is done. He’s doing well, just soooo tired. Everything exhausts him. I still cannot go with him but we video chat while he’s there. Actually, I watch him sleep through the video and try not to disturb him but I feel as though I’m there and can keep an eye on him....

Regimen three has been harder on Dan’s overall stamina. There is no pump to deal with but the build up of toxin in his body is a slow build that just keels him over by the weekend. And his recovery is not as quick or thorough either.

47 today! He’s officially had more chemo infusions than years on earth. He says his numbers were pretty good today, except his platelets which we have come to expect now.

He was okayish enough to do another chemo infusion today! And by okayish I mean his blood cell counts were still quite low. His platelets were normal however and since he is skipping treatment next week for a trip they decided to treat him.

Chemo regimen #43 is today. It’s also possibly the last infusion for a while. Danny met with a doctor at Huntsman Cancer Institute yesterday. He is a radiology oncologist and is willing to take on Danny’s case. That means he will be getting radiation. The regimen is...

The experiment went off pretty well. For the most part Dan was good and stayed in a resting position. As a result, he is back at it with the same regimen and an extra week break. Hoping that’s enough to help him get through these treatments in the next few months. He...

Today is our anniversary. 26 years together! So it sucks that Dan is at chemotherapy and I cannot be there. Stupid pandemic. The last chemo left Dan so sick and in so much pain that we decided he would video call me when he saw his doctor. He has a habit of...
