Chemo Day~tomorrow

Early this afternoon I took Jethenro to the clinic to have his blood check to verify that his counts are high enough to begin his next phase of treatment. Sure enough his ANC (defenses) is at 880. Still on the low end, but enough to begin chemo.  They do not administer chemo if ANC is at or below 750.  He has had a week to recuperate from his ANC of 134 last blood check. 
This phase of treatment will be a little harder then the last~it is called Delayed Intensification.
Thank you for your prayers on his behalf.
