Just an update. All is going pretty well.  John is on day 9 of this cycle. He feels ok, but seems to have trouble getting up and moving in the mornings. He goes to work but usually doesn't make it in until about 9 am. His rash is pretty much gone, but he has dry itchy skin. He seems to be eating ok, but having trouble finding drinks that taste good to him. Right now he seems to like ensure clear fruit drinks :)

He had an appointment at the clinic yesterday. It went well. His numbers are all good and for now his cancer cells are at 0%!!! I think the hope is to keep them there until everything is ready for the transplant. His white blood cell count is about 3500, normal is about 5000 - 10,000.  And his used to be over 35,000.  Stem cell transplant should still be after the 3rd cycle which ends in the middle of January.  Then it takes about 3 weeks of collecting and harvesting his stem cells. Then he should be admitted to the hospital about February 10 and be there 3 - 4 weeks.

We are excited for Christmas and to have family here.
