Update

It seems the Wife has taken over here! Jan Arne is ok but busy with work as it is the last week before his summer holiday.

Last week, contrary to what we thought, Jan Arne did not get Camptosar, only Erbitux. As he finished Xeloda the same day, it has been a bit easier week for him, and the appetite is back too. Interestingly enough as well, the platelet count keeps rising. Other blood test results have been ok too, only leucocytes had dropped a bit below the normal margins, and infection values were up a bit. The Erbitux rash is still there, oddly traveling from one body part to another (from face, neck, shoulders, to arms, to chest etc.). Medicine and biology sure work in mysterious ways. Other than that, business as usual.

Tomorrow (Thursday) is the day for the doctor again, and for probably starting another round with all of the three medicines. Guess we have to ask in more detail about the planned schedule :)
And on other fronts, on Friday we will get a visitor from Norway and on Sunday a visitor from Austria and from Monday both Jan Arne and I will be on holidays! Sounds like a plan :)
