Bill received Cis weekly - 40mg until the 7th week and it was lowered after he was hospitalized (fever, neutropenia) to 30mg for the final treatment.

Glad to hear things are still relatively good..sounds like he is tuff and he has a great nurse! The fact that he is getting optimal hydration and calories is most probably helping him the most. Hang in there, you are counting down to the end!
