O + V: Update One!

12 days (3 infusions, total of 2000mg) into Gazyva.

Felt fantastic since the day of infusion 3 (01.31.20). Lots of energy, sleeping well, no more visible nodes, no more trouble swallowing, no more heartburn.

Wife & 11-year-old son were sick last week: didn’t catch it. (*knocks on skull*)

Saw the oncologist today: apparently, my lab report is “nearly normal” & has improved slowly but continually since starting treatment.

Starting the V ramp-up on Valentine’s Day. (Appropriate!)

Next infusion? Friday: 02.07.20. I’m actually looking forward to it!

Thanks, cllady01! ... The Gazyva will continue monthly for 5 or so more months, by the way, so the meds will overlap starting on Valentine’s Day.
