Kevin had a checkup with Dr. Skinner this morning. After today, if things continue to look good, he won't have to go in on the weeks off of chemotherapy. She just wanted to see him in the off week a couple of times to be certain he was tolerating the drugs ok and do a mid-treatment blood count.
I think it'll be a good break for him to not go in on his off week. Since he doesn't go back to the clinic to have the infusion pump removed, this cuts his clinic visits down to 4 a month--two for infusion treatments and 2 very brief (maybe 10 minutes apiece) visits for Neulasta injections.
That's much less emotional strain on him than the 7 visits a month he had to work into the Lafayette schedule. For Kevin, less time at the clinic means a more positive response to the entire treatment.
