A Few Pints Low....

.... and a "Couple French Fries Short of a Happy Meal", at least that is what Dr. O (my oncologist) said. He didn't actually say the french fry thing, I did, but he did say I was still anemic. I guess that would explain my marathon sleeping session for the last 4 days.

I am getting my next blood test on Friday, and according to the doctor, since I am on a different chemo drug, he anticipates that my RBC count will go up. If I go any lower than what I am currently at, he said I would need a transfusion. I am still getting the "blood booster" injection during chemo, so hopefully it will do its job.

The last chemo actually went well. I only had mild nausea the first night. I am not sure if that was because of the Emend (anti-nausea drug) was working, or the different chemo doesn't cause as much nausea. I had a slight reaction to the Emend, so I am going to try and go without it next time. The worst effect is the fatigue. I didn't even have the energy to turn on my computer for a couple of days. For me, that is the equivalent of the Pope not going to Church. It was actually kind of nice....

I seem to be craving a Happy Meal from McDonald's..... hmmm
