We are about to enter the "Delayed Intensification" phase next week.  Not
going to be fun, but we will be done with the bulk of the treatments in mid
November.  Greatly looking forward to that.

There seems to be more treatments on this phase and it also adds meds that he
has not had up until this point.

His counts last week were totally normal, which is very impressive considering
the treatment going on.
