SHORT REPORT: My platelets and white count were still low last Wed (1/21), but had improved so the doc approved me to have the chemo treatment with a slightly lower dose. The concern is that we don’t want too many more delays in the treatments. It is better to have a lower dose on a consistent schedule, rather than have to keep skipping weeks due to low blood levels.
Nausea and fatigue are the two worse side effects right now. So I feel very fortunate. Although it really sucked that I missed Ros and Paul’s Burns Dinner :-(
I'm sorry that I haven't written more... the days just seem to run into each other... good and bad mixed in together. Fortunately there are some of both... not just bad ones, although my energy level does get in the way even on the good ones. We've had some of the most beautiful weather lately mixed in with some really cold days... seems to reflect my own life! So I just sit in the sunshine whenever possible!
Since the last dose was a little lighter, I'm hoping that next week will be a good one!
much love,
Sia
