I got more blood work today and my number are still too low to start chemo this week. My platelets are 63 and my doctor wants them to be over 100 before starting another round. On Monday they were 62 so I am making some but just not enough to make the number move exponentially. Platelets only live for 3-5 days so I am making enough to back fill the ones that are dying. I get more tired during this time, as my body is working hard to make brand new blood.
I am still neutropenic as well, which is getting old. The great thing is I am able to do all of this from the house and able to be with my family.
I will get retested on Monday and hopefully be ready to go into the hospital then.
Movie night tonight, Sandlot!
