We visited with the nurse practitioner. Blood work all pretty stable. Platelets at 25 so somewhat stable although very low. As one nurse told us, for most people, that’s a shockingly low number but for leukemia and lymphoma patients, it’s expected. There was a little concern about kidney function and Eric was told to really stay hydrated. Treatment followed. No delays today. Everything seems fine. Last treatment was followed by a couple of days of being extremely tired and some dizziness, but lots of sleep seemed to take care of it.
There is more bloodwork and a visit with the nurse practitioner (NP) on Tuesday, followed by bloodwork and treatment again next Friday. Then two weeks off except for the weekly blood and visits with the NP. Doctor visit on 8/8 and I think that’s when the second drug will begin.
