Chris' counts are not high enough for him to start his 4th cycle of chemo today. He should have started the 4th round 3 weeks ago. During Chris' stay in the hospital over the last 3 weeks he's had a number of tests to determine why his counts are not recovering like they should. None of the tests have shown any reason for this.
Today his Dr. said that the next step is to have another bone marrow test done on his right hip (2 previous ones have been on left hip bone). His Dr. wants to make sure the last tests were accurate. It is possible, but rare, that he could have spotty occurrence of cancer in another part of his marrow. So he will have the test done to make sure.
We'll report to the hospital very early tomorrow morning and hopefully know results by the end of the week.
I am thinking of creating a blog to relay Chris' medical information instead of doing it on facebook. I can make a blog viewable by only those I chose and it's far easier to search thru previous posts.
I've tried to go back and find particular notes I've written on here and it's a bit of a headache. I can have a search option on a blog that would make finding posts much easier.
