Chemo can be hard

Pictures: Dave giving me a smile; less than 1 UPRBCs to go!

Dave woke me up at 7:15 am thinking we might need to go to the ER. He'd been up for an hour coughing up blood or getting blood when he blew his nose. We immediately called the clinic and had orders to go right to the infusion clinic to get platelets and blood. They drew blood first and his platelets were very low, 7,000 (normal is) ,and his hgb was 8. So Dave spent the whole day in the infusion clinic..... 2 units of platelets (Dave had a wild description of that) and 2 units PRBCs (his 7th and 8th). He was bored, but tolerated it well. I had to leave for a few hours. We got home about 5:20 pm. I hope there's no blood reaction tonight- I have no desire to go to ER on another Friday. Dave is now only having a few streaks of blood when blowing his nose. The NP said there's a chance they may have to decrease his chemo dose on Thursday. We'll have to see. They are checking his CBC Saturday and Sunday, monitoring closely.

And then there's CW. Still wants to go to Czar's and see friends that are playing tonight. I'm going with (hope only for an hour). I'll have pictures tomorrow. The fight continues.
