Michael did so well during his last treatment, but once I got him home, the fatigue really took over. He was extremely out of it for the first few days. This time, he had a “new” side effect. We are not sure from what, but we will watch it and see. About Monday evening his skin hurt. The slightest pressure anywhere and his skin would hurt all over his body. This lasted until about Wednesday, and then went away. This is the first time he experienced anything like this. We were able to keep the bone pain under control this time. He had some difficulty walking at times, but seems to be coming around.
We went to get his labs yesterday. Can we say YEAH!!! No transfusion!! His hemoglobin is up to 8.7. His platelets are low and of course his white counts are down. After getting is results and speaking with his nurse, we went over to his appointment with his Radiation Oncologist. He said Michael is looking pretty good.
Next Thursday we will go into see the doctor early that morning, get his labs drawn and if all looks good, go over and check in for his second to last chemo treatment. Only 2 more to go!!!
As always, please continue to keep all those beautiful people, our sarcoma friends and everyone fighting any cancer in your prayers. And thanks for encouraging words. Know that Michael really does enjoy every one of them.
