A little more is clear

His "head" is as clear as it's ever been, after a good night sleep. But his numbers show a slight backslide, so they decided to go forward with his next chemo today. The plan is to deliver the Velcade sub cutaneously (under the skin not IV) because it seems to leave less peripheral neuropathy. They are also changing the steroid from dexamethesone which is a totally artificial steroid to prednisone which is similar to what our bodies produce and is less likely to alter his thinking. Unfortunately though the FDA approved sub cutaneous delivery on Friday, the pharmacy isn't ready to do it til next week, so today's will be IV.

It's not clear when he'll be heading over to Capitol Lakes rehab. We'll need to monitor the fallout from the Velcade and find out if they have a bed.

But, indeed, more about his course of disease and action is getting clear daily.
