Well I can only hope that 2014 begins better than 2013 ends. We went into DFCI on 12/20 for a scan, to meet meet with a palliative care doctor and to meet with the doctor who is replacing Dr. G while she is on maternity leave. The scan was stable, so I will remain on Alimpta but lower the dose again because I'm have so many side effects. The palliative care doctor spoke to us about lazering the nerve endings that connect to the liver, which should reduce the pain (this would last about two two to three months). My blood work came back with my platelet count of 8 (it should be a couple of hundred). My platelets being so low explain the tiredness, dizziness, bruising and bloody noses that I've been getting, so while we were there i was infused with platelets and my next chemo treatment was pushed back til January 3rd.
UPCOMING APPTS:
Fri. Jan. 3rd: Blood work & Infusion
