Journal entry by Kimberly Berger —
9/25/18. Day 3 of chemo went well and Dan is tolerating it well. Two more days on this round. They told us today he’ll have a 5-day round every 3 weeks for a total of 6 treatment cycles. Then they will reassess and see where we go from there. In our body, when our white blood cells die off, we replace them with new ones. The problem when you have lymphoma is that the body produces new cells and your old ones haven’t died off. You have way too many. Kind of the opposite of leukemia. Enough of the biology lesson for now. Dan’s pain is less that it was. His vision is still wonky. He was so down, he needs to work real hard on getting stronger. Thanks for your continued prayers.
