Friends,
A relatively unremarkable
day today, but a few bits of information and corrections from
previous updates. My computer infrastructure included Cox Dialup,
which they just happened to neglect to inform me when I signed up
for it and asked if there were any additional charges that it
would cost me $5.95 per 5 hours of connectivity. Since 5 hours
would last me about 1 day at my normal usage, that would get
quite expensive, so I switched back to my old standby Zcloud, for
which I pay $99.00 per year for unlimited dialup access. Much
better.
Many of you have asked about donating platelets for me on my
account. It would be best just to donate. I have pretty specific
requirements. Anything donated will help the overall supply and
make what I need more available to me. Supplies have improved,
but there is always a huge shortage of platelets and red blood
cells. Every little bit helps.
On the medical front - I found out today I only get 3 doses of
IdaRubicin instead of the 7 I reported yesterday. I have now
gotten all three. Four more doses of ARA C to go. I have been
responding pretty well to the chemo so far. I forgot to report
the result yesterday. My white cell count went from 12.9 to 1.7
and was down to .7 today. Some of the results of the biopsy are
coming in. It looks like the new version of Leukemia is M5. That
could be bad news. I will probably report more on that later. We
are still waiting for other biopsy results which may help steer
the course of treatment. The doctor said he was disappointed that
my kidney function was not doing better, but we are pressing
on.
Thanks for the visitors! Hope you all have a great weekend!
