43) Good visit to Hospital

After a foggy drive to Liverpool I had the blood tests and a coffee waiting for the results, and then the usual football banter with Jamie my Macmillan nurse and Paul in the day care unit, they both support Liverpool but I can't hold that against them, they both keep life real.

The blood results are good with the platelets that were 25 last week now at an increasing 68, not bad for 6 days, the neutrophils are 5.5 and Hb a healthy 12.1 so all looking good for Cyprus next Wednesday. The prof prescribed antibiotics for Cyprus as a precautions against infection on the plane and while away, I feel happy with that because if I were to get antibiotics when away there might be something in them that goes against my treatment.

Lets hope the valcade break helps the levels stabilise at a healthy level so that we can start again and get the protein level continuing on its downward journey.
After being out early this morning I feel tired when I get home so it was time for feet up and a rest. I must admit that the results this morning are a tonic in themselves.

Thanks for all your support and prayers we do appreciate it.

    Great news for all of you, Ivan, well done. I'm sure Cyprus will do you all the world of good. Will give mum a couple of books for you to borrow for while you are there. If you get a chance to go on a "Jack's Tour" do it, it's as good as our pie in the sky! Take care, speak soon
