Well, thought I would put in a quick update before leaving in the morning for Ohio. We fly into Columbus, OH, in the morning to attend my niece's wedding on Saturday in West Chester, OH, just north of Cincinnati. On Sunday we have a family time there at my brother's home -- miniature golf tournament, BBQ, Lip Sync contest, followed by a bonfire in the evening. Then on Monday we fly back to Austin. Today my energy level finally seemed much better than it has been the last two weeks. Hopefully it will hold throughout the long weekend. Then on Wednesday, chemo again. Followed the next week with a visit to MD Anderson on July 12th. I will have blood work there, but I think those results will be off because that will be the last day of taking Prednisone. Oh well, it will be good to see what advice the CLL expert, Dr. Weirda has to say. He is the one I consulted with last year.
Here are yesterday's results. Most everything that is off, is only just a little off. So even though there is a lot of red, it really still is a good report. The only thing I was really disappointed with was the platelet count. They had been all the way up to 122 the morning of my last chemo. Even so, 81 isn't in a real danger area.
