Cycle 8 Infusion

Today Doug had his infusion, cycle 8 which means the 8th month of daratumumab/dex. No Revlimid today. The dex was given IV; he will have a hard time sleeping tonight.
It was good to see our favorite infusion nurse Chris. She showed us photos of her daughter's wedding.
She knows Doug likes cheeseburgers, so she had already put in a special lunch order for the hospital kitchen. Cheeseburgers are not on the menu.

Doug weighed in at 149 today. He ate breakfast at home, and another one before infusion: scrambled eggs & hash browns. I don't know where those calories go.

All his pre-infusion blood tests came back with good results:
WBC    3.6
HGB    12.8
PLT      131
ANC     2.1

While Doug was getting his infusion, and a foot massage, I went to Walmart and did some shopping.
Just another day for a myeloma patient and caregiver.

We are praising God for his provision and praying for friends who face problems ahead.

Tomorrow is a rest day and then on Saturday an old friend who we know from our RV days is stopping by.
