Well I have been ignoring my blog again....so sorry~Last week chemo was again a no go. My platelets were only 65. Last time my treatment was a no go I was in the 80's. Normal range is 140-400. I was told by another lady getting chemo that once it gets down in the 20's you get a platelet transfusion but my Dr. has not mentioned anything about that at this time. My platelets continue to plummet with each treatment. But thankfully they were back up to 139 yesterday so I am receiving my 9th treatment. Next time I will be in double digits! Yea! I enjoyed my extra week off with my kids. We went tubing down Ichetucknee Springs State Park. We had a blast but getting up early to get there and not returning home till 7pm really wiped me out! I decided to have my Oncologist call me in the new drug he wanted me to take for my Neuropathy. Jim picked it up for me from the pharmacy and when he got home I read the side effects of the drug and you will not believe what it said! This drug may lower your platelets-go figure. Needless to say I have not taken the drug yet. My Oncologist also lowered the dose of one of my chemo drugs to help my body get through the rest of the treatments. I am doing as well as expected this time around. I will get my pump off tomorrow and then I will have to return to the hospital on Thursday to get my Neulasta shot. Apparently my insurance company doesn't want me to get it the same day I get my pump disconnected. I am not looking forward to the shot. It really makes you feel old. Your legs are achey all the time like you just ran a marathon. I thank God everyday for walking with me through this time of trials that my family is undergoing. We praise God that the rentals are now being rented and He has sustained us through this all! God is Awesome! Thanks to all our friends and family for your help and prayers! Especially our Sunday School class~We love you all!
