Last week of treatment....
As usual we went for blood work today....The white count has gone up 3 points...because of the booster treatment shots....It is still low, but that is to be expected with the chemo (the bad with the good as they say!) They did not have us wait today for the protein count as we will be having the laser surgery tomorrow for the right eye...and he will wear a patch over his left eye so that his vision may appear normal...that all remains to be seen after the surgery....The Left eye that he is totally blind in still needs to have surgery but the Oncologist has asked that we put this off for a while....And with all that is going on at the moment that seems understandable....The last round of chemo is Friday....and we are anxious to get this over with to see what the future has in store for us...It is difficult when you only get bits and pieces of a prognosis from week to week....But I think we are as prepared as we can be to have this sit down with the Doctors....I mean, really how prepared can one be???? It is amazing how many people are in the clinic week after week...and their treatment is so much different than ours....We would like to be able to plan things and not around Doctor visits...We would like to be able to go on a vacation without worry...and yet, we have not been able to do any of those things....Personally I would like to be able to know what the time is going to be like within the next 6 months...at least I think I am ready to know that....Life keeps going by...and we need to be able to enjoy it no matter what the outcome is to be....
