Lab results

I had my first lab work completed after the first round of Chemo and all levels were within the normal range. I was able to compare the lab results with those that I had done prior to chemo and have seen the changes that are taking place. The bone marrow is taking a hit, which we knew that it would. Dr Oken had originally asked that my blood be checked once per week but has requested that I get it checked again on Thursday. He wants to keep a close watch on it to see how low it is going to go. So we I'll be back at the hospital on Thursday for more lab work.

I have been pretty tired and been battling lose stools this week but I hope to be done with that problem by the weeks end. I'm still keeping a daily journal to help me learn what works to help me feel better. It's a lot of paperwork but it will be worth it if I can lead a fairly normal lifestyle throughout this process.
