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.
