Those Darn Platelets

I went in for treatment on Friday. Everything was a 'go' and they started my pre-medications. I sent off my friend who had driven me. Then they came in and said we can't treat you, your platelets are too low. I called my friend, who fortunately was still in the parking lot.

My platelets were too low to get treatment, but not low enough to receive a bag or two. This happened at the same time in the first cycle. I was disappointed. I'll go back tomorrow for my last treatment and hopefully get it.

So, my sister who was going to pick me up later met me for a movie that afternoon. We saw The Reader, which was fabulous.

A week from tomorrow I will have my next CT scan. That will tell us where we go from here. I'm working really hard not to project the future and just live in the moment. My emotions are a bit at the surface, but I'm staying in control. Fortunately I have a lot going on next week, so that should help me.

Hi Jane, It's been awhile since I've visited your site and I am so happy that it is there so that we can all keep up to date with what you are going through! (I hadn't seen your Christmas card either -- it's terrific!!) It sounds like things are looking up! I'll continue to send good karma and special blessings your way! Any chance of meeting for lunch in April?
