I’m happy to report that the chemotherapy went ahead today as the platelet count went above 100 ×109 per liter level. The actual platelet level is 112 ×109 per liter level. The nurses at the clinic were surprised and joked with me how I got the level up.
I saw the Oncologist today as well and all is in order except for my platelet level. In order to avoid future postponements, the chemo dosage level is reduced to 65% level. I guess because the drug dose is at 65%, the side-effects aren’t as strong and I feel fine except for the dehydration, very slight nausea and tinkling in the tongue and finger tips.
The other good news is that most of the lab results are better than last week. One significant improvement is that my haemoglobin is in the “normal” range. Red blood cell count is below normal range but only by just a little bit but still higher than last week. The liver function numbers are also in the normal and better range.
God is good and In Him I Trust.
