Journal entry by Rachel matthews —
Had 7 hour chemo May 5- lab on May 4 with hemoglobin 7.3 and platelets 118 thousand so good enough for the chemo to be given.
Having shortness of breath with exertion, fatigue, chilling etc so even with hemoglobin of 7.3 dr decided I should have one unit of blood today May 6. Unit went well.
Next blood draw will be a Monday 5/11 and if acceptable results next chemo will be 5/12 but only a one hour course. Tim as always is my chauffeur.
