Joni took Dave to radiation and infusion this afternoon. He had a lab draw today. WBCs= NORMAL, Platelets= ALMOST NORMAL, Hemoglobin= down to 9. He may need a transfusion. It would help his energy level so much, but they may want to let him increase on his own. I'll probably call the oncologist Monday morning to ask. I didn't see his electrolyte lab results. He is scheduled for 2 more radiation treatments and then a pause for a few weeks before checking a CT scan. He's still coughing up stuff, but it's much clearer. Next week he gets a Chest x-ray before his oncologist appointment which may get us some information. Most importantly, he seems stronger every day. I wish he'd eat more. As our friend Linda Shocklee says..."'cuz he's a foodie." I'm thinking that will get better after radiation is done.
I'll keep everyone posted about possible camp fires this weekend. Would love to have one tomorrow night...weather and Mr Maki will be the deciding factors. TGIF!
