Subject: Update

I was to have my last chemo treatment today, but that didn't happen.  My platelet count was to low so both chemo and radiation have been held for one week to give my body a chance to heal.

They will draw blood work again next Tuesday to see if my counts have come back up.  I hate the waiting and not knowing.  I was so ready to get to the end of my treatments.

I have seven more radiation treatments to complete.  The Radioligist decided to halt treatments because the area they are getting ready to radiate is close to the platelet supply.

Today they gave me fluids and potassium.  They are watching all my levels.

I'm trying some new medication for the pain.  I'll know in a few days if that is helping.  I have a nerve in my left leg that is acting up and makes it hard to walk sometimes.  I'm hoping that calms down soon.

The doctors are pleased with my progress.
