Thursday was the last chemo day in round 4. I had a really good week physically (after the Monday events). My sister was able to meet us after a couple of weeks of absence. And, another women in our 7 Steps of Healing workshop was there with her sons and daughter-in-law.
My white count was low and my platelets were at the cusp of no treatment, but they reduced the dosage instead. My INR (indicates thinness of the blood) was 7. A normal INR should be between 2 and 3. Fortunately, I had forgotten to take my Coumadin that morning. I'm instructed not to take any more until Monday, and then take only half a dose forever more. This happened after my DVT/PE after my car accident as well. I was instructed to keep an eye out for any blood in urine and stools and to please not jostle myself to any kind of bruising.
Thursday afternoon I had a fever and yesterday had that after-fever hangover feeling tired and weak. Today I'm a little better. Michael is playing in a pool tournament, so I may go to the store and just get out a bit.
