Doug has a cold with bad cough, but no fever. He saw our NP last week - She did the nasal swab test for flu and it was negative. She said that test is not always accurate. She thought his cough sounded like it could be low grade type B flu and prescribed Tamiflu just in case.
He did get his chemo infusion yesterday - his nurse put him in an isolation room for the sake of the other patients. He is wearing a mask when out of the house.
Doug qualified for chemo:
WBC 2.8
HGB 12.7
PLT 261
ANC 1.3
He is very tired and has been taking a long nap every day. He is taking Mucinex DM and Tessalon for the cough. We are very thankful that he is not running a fever!
We will be seeing Dr. M, the myeloma specialist in Denver February 19, after the PET/CT scan. It will be a long day. We have not decided if we will drive up and back the same day, or stay over. A lot depends on the weather.
Love to all.
The eternal God is your refuge, and his everlasting arms are under you.
Deuteronomy 33:27
