Day +4:  still dropping....

29/9/2013

Good morning again from suite 328!  The day, as always, started at 7 am with my blood work and IV fluids (glucose/dexamethasone), followed by the normal routine of prepping for the day.  As a father of 3 boys, I have to say, things get done a lot faster without the little people running around you.  Problem is, I get everything done, then have nothing to do:)  This isolation thing has an upside!  I think I'm going to have to give myself a bit of a pep talk before heading back home to the usual busy life:)
Dr. Fedorenko has given me my updated numbers and again I am pleased...

Hemoglobin and platelets are still floating in reasonable territory, and those Leukocytes are getting pretty darn low to boot!  Well done guys....this is why we do the chemo!  Hope for more news tomorrow.  
Dr. Fedorenko will also be checking full blood biochemistry tomorrow to be sure the hepatic function has returned liver enzymes have dropped back down and kidneys are functioning well.  One more down in isolation!
Love from Moscow!

Just like I'm learning with my golf score - good news when the numbers go down.

Glad to see those numbers going down for you. We ladies like the numbers going down on the weight scale. You have a great sense of humour through this whole procedure. The home stretch is within reach.

I guess you can start using some of those Itune cards now to help pass the time. You probably haven't even had time to watch any of the movies that you wanted to.
