Variables

So, having taken control of my steroid/edema situation, I’ve been very frustrated that, this week anyway, the plan wasn’t working. I’vr ramped down the steroides, which should make me stronger, but the reverse has been true this week.

Today, I got my latest blood test back and it shows unusually low platelet count. My oncology nurses think it’s a timing thing, and that the last round of chemo corresponded with my platelet lifecycle, which wiped out more than usual numbers, producing an anemic state. Oh well… best laid plans…

    Man. Hacking the human body is tricky.

    Yup, darn it. So now I have to wait for the anemia to go away before I can see what the steroid situation is… feeling better this AM, though…
