In another 14 days, Simon will be 28 days out from the start of his treatments and will again have to receive a special IV antibiotic. It will require about an hour and a half in the clinic. The antibiotic specifically targets the bacteria that lives in all of our lungs. In a person with a weakened immune system, the bacteria can over grow, causing serious complications. He will receive this preventative measure once a month.
Also, as we near the 30 day mark, Simon will have another bone marrow biopsy, so determine whether or not he is responding to treatments.
