So by now we've had about six appointments cancelled and rescheduled as we wait for Sawyer's blood level to get to where it needs to be. There's no cause for concern - out of the eight or so things they check everything is strong except the ANC (immunity fighting neutrophils). The ANC is working its way upward but the doctor wants it to be a bit higher before the next treatment. We were reassured that this is very common and that he's still in remission. He flew through his methotrexate treatments which apparently is not always the case; some patients don't make it through all four treatments. But since that process was pretty rough on his body, it just needs a bit more time to rebuild.In the meantime, he continues to enjoy a healthy appetite and is eating large portions of the delicious meals finding their way to our house each week from our caring friends.
Currently the next appointment is scheduled for Wednesday morning.
