Follow up to Dr Visit Tuesday the 27th

So, I had to have blood drawn on Tuesday. This is a nadir test, not nadis as I said last week. It is nothing more than a normal routine blood test. It was done because of the terminated chemo treatment, the new treatment and the fact that my levels would not be checked soon enough. It is still two weeks away. So, safety factor I'd say. The worst part of the test was we had to wait for the results. Appointment was at 12:30 and we got done at 2:30. I faired pretty well, my potassium level is much better now up into the range where it belongs. My glucose is a little high but we all agree it is the peanut butter cookies I am eating. Some medicines have to be taken with food. When I take my pills at 10:00 at night I take a quarter of a cookie....goes to show you how much sugar there is an a peanut butter cookie. My cancer marker actually went up from 47 to 61 but they explained they expected that because of the terminated treatment. They expect it to go down next time.

For those at OneShield that I got to see on Monday I just went you to know it was great to see you, wish I could have visited longer and seen more people. All in good time though, I'll be back!!
