Thrombocytopenia

11:55. It appears that my thrombocytes , ie  platelets are sticking together and refusing to be counted. Like me , they have a mind of their own , little feckless . This is the fourth test that has been whizzed off to the lab .

  1. They're treating me to lunch .....yay ... Lol 


Well , I'm finally done for the day .
My platelet count was 70  , which is too low for the full dose of chemo . I instead they have me half the dose , which is fine by me . 

Now I have 14 days off before the next cycle of chemo , starting on 28th October . 

Good to be home again .

Hi Mara, Glad to see you back home with family and holding baby Rufus. He looks very peaceful.
We have a lot of workmen in, replacing windows, boarding the loft space, building worktop for computers so it is difficult to go anywhere. I am glad we moved here but it has come at a difficult time. I really would like to visit Kristina before baby is born and to visit you in Sweden but it is looking unlikely at present.
Hope you get plenty of recuperative rest before the next round of therapy. lots of good wishes, Dace xxx

Hiya Dace

No worries. Let's all focus on what we need to and all will be well .

Kristina has been in my thoughts a lot. She must be pretty close now .

I'm holding you all in the 'love space"

I have tow weeks off now and intend to replenish reserves :-)

Much love
