End of Chemotherapy!

>

>

Orion finished his sixth and final course of chemotherapy last night and his wonderful blood work allowed him to be released from Ellison 18 today. This evening I will inject his final dose of Neulasta and we will hide out at the Beacon Hill apartment until he hits bottom and makes the return. Three weeks to Swarthmore Commencement and four weeks to his date with accelerated protons.

    Hurray! A great and welcome milestone. May he never go near any of those chemicals again!

    I marvel that the timing is as it is for graduation. Have a blast at graduation--all of you! Does Orion have any plans for lettering on his mortarboard?
