Well day 1 of Round 1 has been completed.  Today was Fludarabine and Cytoxan.  We got a slow start this morning because Fred's platelets were low.  Platelets were 92,000 (normal 150,000-450,000), so we had to wait to have the doctor sign off to go ahead with the chemo today. 

After chemo his blood pressure was extremely low 66/41, so they pushed saline through his IV for a while which brought it up to 90/58.  He is resting now and so far so good.
