Back into the Hospital

I am back in the UW Medical Center. (But, this is a good thing because I am in for my 5th round of chemo.) For those that know chemo: Hyper-cvd. Only 3 more to go after this. Then 2 years of once a month maintenance chemo. I also got some good news from my CT scan- I am in REMISSION! I was supposed to start chemo on Friday, but my platelets had dipped down to 49. Platelets need to be 50+ to start chemo. So close! It was a good weekend though, because I got to watch the Superbowl. BTW I was rooting for the Saints because I saw a special with Drew Brees visiting kids with cancer. He gave a playoff game ball to a kid with leukemia who had just had a stem cell transplant.
