Treatment 5 is down and I'm on the upswing to feeling better already. Mom has been here for the last 5 days or so to help out since Kyle had to go out of town. Abby has been loving it since my Mom spoils her worse than we do. She's had more treats and playtime than ever before and will no doubt drive us crazy for several days after my Mom leaves.
I'm ready to start exercising again and get my energy level back up so I can do things around the house. My hemoglobin levels were a little lower again just before the last treatment, so they are talking about me having to have another transfusion. With any luck we will be able to talk the insurance company into paying for a drug to help with the stimulation of red blood cells instead of the transfusion. Should know more about this sometime this week. My catheter that they put in last week instead of another port-a-cath is healing slowly. The incision from my initial port-a-cath still has not healed completely, so they will leave the catheter in until then. At least they can use that instead of having to stick me everytime they need blood or I get chemo.
On the genetics front, we have yet to hear from the genetics lab with the results of my blood work. We hope to know something by the end of the week.
Happy Halloween Everyone!!
