She said to have another check in 3 weeks the day before he is supposed to get his next Chemo Pill. If it is not at a minimum of 120,000 not to give him the pill, but to bring him back to the Specialty Hospital to be restaged and see where he is at, and what is next. It would be more dangerous for him to get it with a low count, than not to get it. CEENU (LOMUSTINE) is very powerful and is known to do this, and he has been on it for quite a long time. He is still doing good, and went for another walk. You can tell he is slower, but he does not know that he is old, slower, and sick.
Keeping Carlo in my prayers.
Do you know if they can give him a shot like they can with humans to help raise his counts?
