We got Sandy's car back yesterday evening. In its electrical system the regulator had failed and the alternator needed new bearings. Once done, it runs fine.

Chemo Day 4 was scheduled for tomorrow, but Sandy called home to tell me it's been postponed until June 11th. This will throw all scheduled appointments back one week for the duration, so we'll have to juggle other events that are not medically related. I have yet to learn why chemo day was postponed, but when I find out I'll post it here.

Sandy's ANC (Absolute Neutrophil Count) needs to be at a minimum of 1,500 for chemo to be administered. Her ANC as of last night is 3,000, high enough to permit chemo. Her platelet count is 68 but the nurse wants it at 100 minimum.

Meanwhile, the obituary of Sandy's brother Terry is in tonights local paper:
