I had blood work today. It's my off week from having chemo. But had it been scheduled, I wouldn't have been able to get it again. Due to low white blood cells. I flunked the test again. I see a pattern forming. It's supposed to be chemo 3 weeks in a row, followed by 1 week without chemo. It's been every other week so far. I have an appt. with Dr. Simon next week and I'll be asking her questions about the treatment. Maybe they could reduce the amount of chemo, less side effects. Am always tired, don't ever seem to have energy. Oh, to be the energizer bunny! Patti drove me to this appt., and a special treat was a Dunkin Donuts coffee coolata. She was also kind enough to share some of her perennials with me. I just love flowers.
By the way, Barry got the results of his CT scans from Friday. No change. But he continues to have aches and pains. No mention of when he'll be having his next chemo. Geeez, it's been about 6 months.
Tim is 1/2 way done with his summer college class. He's enjoying the subject, and he seems to have a lot of homework. The way I look at it, not wasting the summer. Works in the afternoon for a teacher doing odds and ends, plus keeps the neighbors yard mowed and in good shape. Busy is good.
