He is taking a total of 13 pills a day, many of which are for the prevention of bacterial and viral infections. He also has three additional medications that he can take if needed for nausea. To top it all off, Mark was surprised by the fact that he will need a daily shot of a blood thinner medicine right in the stomach. NOT what he wanted to hear! He started that today and will need to continue the daily shot until the specific count they are watching goes from 292 to 30. Not sure how long that will be but it could last through the stem cell replacement phase.
