Hi from Bob
Hello eveyone,
Mo is typing as I dictate. I'm doing my second round of chemotherapy with a positive response on my counts. I'm still having"morning sickness" from the drug, but Mo is keeping me fed.[Mo says Bobs eating 2 good meals a day now, and doesn't appear as distressed from the nausea this time around. He has however lost 7 pounds since he started in Dec.]
At the end of Jan. I'll have another bone marrow biopsy and if I'm back in remission I'll be back in the stem-cell transplant program. Dr. Luger was pleased with the fact of my counts coming up so quickly. Normally they don't do the biopsy til' after the 3rd or 4th round of chemo. Mo says platelet count was up to 50,000, hgb. was over 12 and white count was up to 4.5, so we did get out to break fast twice between treatments. Now though I'm back in isolation as the counts are probably dropping again.
I'm keeping busy reading or playing the computer(still WOW), and usually take a long nap during the afternoon, especially this week when I have to be up early for the chemo.
Thank you to everyone for all your prayers, best-wishes and gifts. Mo and I appreciate all your thoughtfulness. And a belated Happy New Year to you all.Here's hoping for a healthier 2007 for us all.
All our love,
Bob and Mo
