We arrived at hospital at 9.00 and went straight for blood tests. The results were steady, the platelets, neutrophils and white blood cells were all at an ok level without outside help, (for the blogging medics the HB was up 1.0 at 12.7.) A good day makes you stand tall and feel altogether better (puts an extra inch on your height, and seeing as myeloma sufferers generally loose height thats a big bonus).
The last few days I have been feeling tired and as though the drugs are starting to take over but that is expected so no problem, it does help when you know what side effects there might be.
Next hospital visit is Friday so will be looking for some more good results, I am sure that there will be hiccups along the way but at least I know there is support there for us.
Just for the record, Averil is such a fantastic support, she lets me do so much which makes me feel good helping but she always keeps an eye on me and calls time on what I am doing if she sees things getting too much for me (which they often do). Averil you are a star. THANK YOU.
