Yesterday I took the infamous ride into UIC again to see the Hematologist. Unfortunately, the Peripheral Neuropathy panel was not back from Washington University yet. That is intended to pinpoint the direct cause of my Axonal Sensory Polyneuropathy. For instance, was it a component of the Letrozole, or the active chemo agent itself. In addition, my last set of labs needed to be addressed. My hemoglobin had dropped 2 points, making me even more anemic as well as my hematocrits and RBC's. My ESR (Sed Rate) jumped up to 66 which signals some sort of inflammatory process, infection, or pain. And so, my sweet Hematologist, and do mean sweet ordered another battery of blood tests to be done on me. This man is absolutely incredible. He is probably the age of my Sarah and has 5 children. But what I love the most about him is his vulnerability. He's not afraid to look things up in front of me or be open to my suggestions and questions. Not so high is his hat, that he has to hang it on the title doctor. So, he is the perfect fit for me. 
I will return to UIC in 2 weeks, the day after my infusions, to go over those labs. 
I have had a couple of good days since beginning the IVIG. By good, I mean, less pain, better mobility, and better sleep. I will take it! Hopefully it is trend of things to come. God Bless.
