Doug had his biweekly dara infusion yesterday. His blood counts were better. Last week his ANC was 1.0, barely qualifying. Yesterday it was 1.4.
WBC was 3.2
HBG was 12.4
PLT " 205. Not bad for a chemo patient.
He weighed 157 - up a pound. His appetite has been pretty good now that the Revlimid is out of his system.
While Doug was getting the dara, I climbed all the stairs in the building several times. And I had a good conversation with a gal I know whose husband was also getting his chemo drugs.
The rapid rate infusion only takes 90 minutes once the infusion starts. Doug was finished by noon. He did get his cheeseburger for lunch!
At the next infusion we will have the results of the myeloma panel, which shows the cancer markers. And we are scheduled to see the local oncologist.
Love to all.
Message for today:
"May God ignite fresh faith in you today.
May you pray with clarity, precision, and power.
May you stand on His Word and hold fast to His promises.
May you refuse to fixate on your difficulties, and instead fix your eyes on Jesus -
the One who will finish what He started in you.
He is always good, always true, and He WILL come through for you!
May the Lord overwhelm you with an awakening of faith, hope, and love today.
Look up and be blessed."
