Journal entry by Bill Mokriakow —
Good evening.
Still struggling with fatigue issues and bone pain but it's getting better.
Looks like my bone marrow is starting to work and I'm holding my own with hemoglobin ANC, and recieved great news late Friday that my platelet level has gone up to 81000.
and hadn't had a transfusion for about 2 months nor taken any PROMACTA for 2 weeks.
Doctor agreed with me about stopping the drug and see if I could maintain a good level of platelets and I went from 53000 to 81000 without the drug
I did have to have my port removed because of a slight infection about a month ago. It's been sore and discolored and sore in that area for about 2 months. Feels good in that area now.
What a way to start out the new year.
God is Good.
Love you all.
