Cancer Eradication Efforts by the Numbers

Brain cancer is...

...battled by Chemo Day Five.

Darrell's last dose of chemo for the month is today.  For the number lovers on the team, here are some of Darrell's cancer eradication effort numbers: 

  1. With today's dose, Darrell will have completed eight cycles of maintenance chemo.
  2. If he continues to tolerate it well, he has just four cycles of chemo remaining. (Regardless of the state of his tumor, Temodar is too toxic to take for more than one year.)
  3. He will complete maintenance chemo on March 17, 2017
  4. March 17 is Tiana's and Alex's match day as well, so Darrell will be 2,676 miles away to celebrate that last dose.
  5. Today we changed Darrell's Optune arrays.  We change approximately every four days.  This was our 59th change.  
  6. During our walk at the park this morning, Darrell said, "Good morning!" fifteen times.  
Here's how great it sounded:


There are 53 Fridays in 2016.  Happy Number 48, Everyone!
