Doug had a blood draw yesterday - his ANC is still 1.7, and his WBC is 2.9, lower than last week. So the oncologist doesn't want to resume the Revlimid yet. If next week's lab report isn't high enough to resume Rev, we will probably seek another opinion. Meanwhile Doug feels good and has had no infections.
Doug had cataract surgery, and a mini-shunt procedure for glaucoma in his right eye today. His cataract was affecting his vision, and the opthalmologist said it would be a good time to also take care of the glaucoma in that eye. (Left eye also has glaucoma and Doug will continue two kinds of drops in that eye.) He came through the surgery fine, and we go back to the Dr. for a follow up tomorrow. Anyone remember the old days when cataract surgery was a big deal, with sandbags on either side of the head, and days of bed rest? We are so fortunate that eye surgery has progressed so much!
