We went to Mayo Clinic today, had blood work done and saw the doctor. Dr. Solberg said Fred's response to treatment was excellent. Fred's white blood cells were 7,500 (great!) however his red blood cells and platelets were below normal so the decision was to wait another week before having chemotherapy in order for the red blood cells and platelets to regenerate themselves and hopefully get into the normal range before having chemo knock them even lower.
So we are now home and will go back next Monday for the chemotherapy.
Thank you for the prayers.

Glad to hear things are going well. Get them red boys working again and we can blast those nasty ones again. Hope to see you soon!
