PET Scan says the metasteses are “on hold”.
ie. No worse, but no better than the previous scan.
Meh.

For the second time, Treatment Day has been postponed for a week due to low platelet count.
Three weeks ago doc said my platelets were ‘marginal’, but treatment went ahead because I was already four weeks out from the last time.
Went to the Cancer Centre today, only to be told that doc had been up until 0200, and due to fatigue he misread my numbers… Should have sent me a message postponing treatment AGAIN.
So I’m slightly p!ssed off, and we’ll try again next week.
If the following treatment is also delayed to four weeks we run up against a timing problem, as the treatment after that will have to be either a two week interval or six weeks, as we’ll be riding the rails around Oz during weeks three and four.
(Housesitters will look after the girls.)

Piddly poor excuse Ray, the Dr was up until 0200hrs!!! poor baby. Get stuck into them M8. Keep a fighting. xx

Treatment delayed AGAIN!
Same old same old: low platelet count.
It is actually DOWN from last week! Was 77. This week: 66!

It is now six weeks since my last chemo session — should be every three weeks.
Rescheduled for next Wednesday (Tuesday booked out.)
IF it goes ahead next week, the following treatment (3 weeks later) will mean the follow-up dosage will be ‘unplugged’ the day before we take off on our rail holiday!

hey Ray get stuck into the raw liver.

Don't you think he's suffering enough now Dottie Lots of lamb's fry and bacon and black pudding of colour and steaks cooked on a very hot plate, turned once .... the cooking style where you're not sure if you should eat it, or just put a band-aid on it and put it back in the paddock

No good Ray having to delay treatment, is it white blood cells that are low?

Red cells.
The ones that do the blood clotting when you cut yourself.

[Greynomad]

Blood test tomorrow morning to check platelets in preparation for chemo on Wednesday.
