January 6th, 2012

Kudos to my friend Evie for spending her day at chemo with me.  It was supposed to be a shorter appointment, but because of new insurance and the new year it ended up taking twice as long!!  Gotta love it.
Good news:  My platelets went up to 30.   Yea.  My hemoglobin came up a little, so doc says keep up with whatever I'm doing.  My red blood count came down some, but we're waiting until next week, to see if I need another blood infusion. 
On the steroid front:  My white blood count went up somemore, I gained 8 lbs., and my face has swollen:  So he started me on lasix and also slowed down the steroid wean.  So we'll see how everything goes next week.
So for the most part good news and I got my chemo tx this week. 
The best part of the day . . .  Evie and I met Veronica at La Nopolera for lunch.  Had a great time with them.
