Derek was admitted Sunday night for his last dose of high-dose methotrexate. After hydrating him all night, they started the chemo mid-day yesterday. Now he is finished, but we have to wait for it to clear his system. Tomorrow they will start the leucovorin treatment to rescue his healthy cells. From looking at his treatment plan (called his road map) it looks like this is his last scheduled in-patient treatment. The rest can be done on an outpatient basis. Phase 4 of his treatment, called Delayed Intensification, will begin in two weeks.

After DI, will Derek start Long Term Maintenance? I think of your family often and I will be praying your family through DI.
Wow, so great this will hopefully be the last time in the hospital. I pray everything will go well for his last treatment and in moving on to the next stage.
