This cycle went very smoothly and Sawyer's system has cleared the methotrexate even faster - we are heading home this evening instead of the expected tomorrow morning. Sawyer is very excited to have this part of the protocol finished, plus it means he can go to a wrestling team get-together tonight for awhile. There are no more scheduled hospitalizations!
We had visitors today that helped make the day go by quickly and pleasantly.
The next two months will be a repeat of December and January's schedule - weekly visits to the clinic with low counts and probably a transfusion or two. But June will bring the beginning of the maintenance phase which switches to once a month visits and more days of feeling decent. This will continue throughout his junior and senior year of high school, so graduation will be doubly meaningful for life milestones!
