Rob's red counts are all low, and he's anemic, due to what the chemo is doing to his system. BUT, not to the point that we have to reschedule Thursday's chemo treatment.. Yeah! Rob just wants to get all this behind him!
We found out today that after we finish up Round 4, late May or early June, Rob will have a body scan that will serve two purposes: The first will be to check for any obvious cancer cell clusters present, and the second will be to serve as a baseline for comparison scans. The oncologist will periodically, every 3-6 months (although she later reiterated 3 months) do bloodwork and body scans. If the bloodwork shows any suspicious numbers, they'll do a bone scan. We also found out that if they find cancer in other places, like in the bone for example, it won't be called 'bone cancer,' but rather bladder cancer that spread to the bone. Interesting.
Rob is very tired, but in good spirits, because of you lifting him in prayer. I can't thank you enough.
We came home, Rob slept and read and perused the online community for awhile, and we've enjoyed a quiet evening. I am praying that Thursday's treatment goes easy and well for Rob, that his veins hold up to the trauma, and that the effects we know are coming, maybe won't. I can hope.
Well, it's almost 11:30pm and I still have a few things on my list to do, and I have to be up at 5am for work... another short night of sleep. So, I'm outta here!!! ;)
Have a blessed mid-week. I'll be back sometime on Thursday.
In Love and In Peace,
Cheri ♥
