Today was the meeting with the doctor and nurse that will be looking after Robs treatment. Things are a little clearer.
Day 1 He will go in and receive a CVC which is a tube that will be inserted into his chest, that will allow them to draw blood, give him chemo treatment, draw his stem cells and put them back. He will not have to get an IV every time.
Day 2 and 3 receive chemo
Day 4-13 recover in hospital and at home, he can leave the hospital if he is feeling ok on a pass but the bed will remain open for him and he can return at anytime without being re-admitted.
Day 14-18 he will receive GCSF and it will increase his stem cells
Day 19-21 collect stem cells from the blood system.
1-2 weeks off
then count down begins.
Day -2 admitted to hospital for hydration
Day -1 Chemo
Day 0 give stem cells back
Day +1 - +14 recover in hospital.
This is a general guide line there may be a few added days if he doesn't have enough stem cells to retrieve and if he does not recover well.

I was thinking back today on how this all started. Rob was scratching his armpit and found the lump, he showed me ewww I can't believe I put my finger there and I booked him an appointment with our family doctor. Our doctor said he was concerned and sent him for some scans and then a biopsy and well you know the rest. It shows you the importance of physical exams and if you can't get to a doctor then you should do them yourself.
