Hopeful day

Dale spent the day at Huntsman either having blood work done, talking with doctor, or bone marrow tests. It was a full day for him, much of it waiting and waiting. His patience is so much better these days. I suppose he just figures it wastes energy (that he does not have) to be inpatient with medical things.  He is at their grace, actually. Results are positive. As the chemotherapy progresses, Dale's medical teams adjust what he can handle, and second rounds onward, may be a bit smoother. I say "may" because this is still a guess of how he will react to next round. It will begin in one week. It begins with blood work, baseline for the process, and then chemo, chemo, chemo, for eight days. They do say that his body adjusts to the chemo as the time progresses. Does that mean more? Or what? Overall, I am more hopeful after today's discussions.
