Cycle 7-A
Last week, we had to cancel the chemo because my platelets were 52,000 (normal = 150,000 - 400,000)so I have had a chance to bounce back to pretty near normal.
This Wednesday I went over my most recent lab with the DOC and now my platelets are up and today have gone up 2 1/2 times what they were two weeks ago (there is no approved drug to boost them although AMGEN is working on it).
Best news is my PSA is now down to near normal (lowest its been in a year) showing that for the time being we have put the cancer to sleep.
So - everything is coming up roses.
In other news, my new grandaughter - Grace Anne - brought her family up from West Hills to visit us in Fresno last week and it was a joyous time: we went to the Fresno Met Museum to see Grossology - where the nasty stuff comes from (snot, vomit, diahreea, farts, and zits). Actually its an interactive fun house kind of exhibit (if you like to crawl inside noses and colons!)
Grace also took us to Sierra Summit for some snow play Saturday.
This weekend we are in West Hills to Grace-sit so Beth can get out to celebrate her birthday at Roy's.
Next week March Madness gets going - if you have not been invited to my bracket contest, go to the link or let me know at: (yem@qnis.net).
