Since my last round of chemo I have been feeling really well. We even took a weekend trip to the Hood Canal. It was really nice to get away. The only problem had been my blood counts. They have not been coming up. Each round of chemo knocks the blood counts to nearly zero, but then as my bone marrow recovers it is supposed to bring my counts back up so that I can get the next round of chemo. I have had to have several blood and platelet transfusions to just keep me going. (Thanks again to all the donors out there : ) I had to go in for a bone marrow biopsy on Friday to see why my counts are not coming back up. The fear is that the cancer is back and messing with my bone marrow. The hope is that the bone marrow is just slow to recover because of the severity of the chemo. I'll find out the results sometime next week. I'll end this blog on a positive note and post some pics from our trip to the Hood Canal.
