Signs of responding to the chemo
Andrew had a much better week this week. Outpatient all week and just for IV antibiotics, blood draws and transfusions. His platelet count is on the go (going up that is) which indicates that he is responding to the chemo. That's a real plus, it wasn't necessarily a given. We have an appointment with the hematologist on Monday and think he will be happy about that and probably order the next round on chemo. Thanks to everyone for their well wishes. Andrew always likes to receive the messages. He is still neutropenic (no neutrophils/white blood cells) so still the bubble boy - lots of reruns of Black Adder etc. So wet and wild here at the moment that we are all pretty much staying in doors.

ReplyDeleteYay! Wonderful and a great way to finish the week. If you are sick of blackadder re-runs, have you tried the new Dr. Who series. Then you can do the old Dr. Who series and the older Dr. Who series and the old, old series...Patrick's idea of heaven.
