The only thing we had to do today as for anything medical was to go and get my blood drawn and tested. After it was drawn and after there was enough time for it to be tested the nurse came back and told me that the platelet count was 13. We were very disappointed and I was also concerned because two days ago it had been 21. I was trying to think what's going to happen now with such a big drop in just two days and how that's going to affect things. How can I possibly recover from a much stronger chemo when I'm not recovering from the past one which is been almost a month ago. The nurse came back into the room and said she had looked at the results wrong instead of being 13 my count was 23. Well we were overjoyed and so relieved. The count did not go up much but it did go up and not go down. This shows I am recovering!
The APN that we saw today is giving us another day off tomorrow so we don't have to go back until Sunday. The extra day off will sure feel good.
