Day 20: Paulette for the assist

For the past 10 days or so, I had written about the importance of my neutrophil count reaching 500. My team of doctors had indicated that was the magic number to send me home...until it wasn't.

Day 18: Anybody have some Neutrophils to Share?

Two things have to happen for me to be discharged on Monday. Only one seems likely.

Day 15: The Home Stretch

It's official--I've been at University Hospital's Seidman Cancer Center for two full weeks.

Day 12: Halfway Point?

Father's Day fell on the 12th day of my hospital stay. It also marked what could be the midpoint of my extended visit.

Day 9: Date Night

In the hospital, you've got to go to great lengths to keep the mind active. To break up the monotony, Paulette and I set up date night on Thursday.

Day 7: Key Decision Made

I've wrestled with a lot of thoughts and decisions since being admitted to the hospital eight days ago. 

Day 5: Of Rain and Sorrow

Day 1 is behind me

Steve vs. MCL II officially got underway on Friday with a round of chemotherapy at University Hospitals' Geauga branch of the Seidman Cancer Center.
