... looks
as though I’m not very speedy on getting this blog up-to-date either a la the
emails!! J
Saw Boleti on May 12 – blood platelets count DOWN
again to 82 (out of a minimum of 100 for chemo to go ahead) – so she suggested
I have another blood test on the 15th – if okay, chemo can go
ahead. I did – and it wasn’t – down to
77. So, no chemo again.
I’ll have another blood test on Thursday, May
21. And, hope it goes up – and chemo
next day. But if it doesn’t go up, the final chemo (#6) will not take
place. In either event, I will have a
body CT scan on June 15 and see Boleti again on June 23 to get results of scan
and to discuss what happens next.
I also explained to her my back pain – result
of bending over table working on taxes and computer for HOURS for two days, and
somehow managed to twist a muscle (or two!) in my back – and had been in agony
over that next week-end. Not related to
cancer, but she gave me a prescription for codeine tablets and paracetamol, so
I’ve been on heavy doses of those since the 12th! Argh!
Thus far, it seems the same (maybe a BIT better!) but can’t tell if it’s
the meds, or just “time!” so will call my GP Monday, 18th.
“That’s all she wrote, folks!” so you won’t
have to check this until after JUNE 23!!
A reprieve for us all!!
Thanks to those who let us know you WERE able
to access the blog!!!
