My platelet count had gone to 29 today from 28 yesterday.
My schedule called for me to get 4 MRIs today with the last one starting at 9:30 tonight. When I went in at 8 a.m to get one of the MRIs this morning, the lady told me that she was going to try to do all four while I was there this morning. She managed to do that and I was so glad that we didn't have to go back tonight. I got the 4 MRIs , blood work and the PET/CT scan this afternoon.
Tomorrow I will have to see Doctor Van Rhee and I will also have to get a CVL line put in. That's also called a central line. The last one of those I got put in, they put it in my neck and I really didn't like getting it put in. Maybe tomorrow will be a more pleasant experience getting it put in.
Just a reminder that Wednesday is when I will be getting the melphalan infusion. They told me today that it would be about 10 days after they are given to me before the stem cells start to make any difference.
Don't get overheated in the hot weather.
I'm so glad that you were able to get the MRI's this morning and not have to go back. That in itself is very tiring and you need all the rest you can get!
ReplyDeleteHope getting the central line put in won't be painful. It's awesome that the platelet count went up.
Tell Reta hello for me.
