Chemotherapy #5 (of 6) - DONE!

Today was a good day. Chemotherapy went smoothly and the end of treatment is in sight.  I'll still have quarterly infusions of a bone strengthener, but that's a lot less than every three weeks (weekly for the first five years) for over TEN YEARS!

My chemo marker is stable.  That's not the number I wanted, but stable is better than rising.  I start another series of three Neupogen injections tomorrow because it was so effective during the last cycle.

We're still at odds with Younger Daughter's next placement.  The good news today was that we learned of a group home possible option, not too far away, where all the clients are female and close to her age.  They all are active participants in Special Olympics.  The care provider is deciding whether to meet our daughter and will read all the notes in her packet later in the week.  Our fingers are crossed.

And oh yes, we got our much needed rain last night - all night, all morning and part of the afternoon. YES!
