Up-date on this OLD MAN......

Hell-o to all!!!
I had my fifth chemo on Wednesday the 27th. Everything went well and it took only 2.5 hours to do all five(steroid/nausea/Keytruda/Alitma/Caprboplatin) bags.
I felt good pretty much all day Thursday, but maybe a bit tired. Slept good last night.
Blood work shows my hemoglobin has dropped to 8.9--should be 14.0 to 18.0. It has fallen from 15.0 in June to its current level. This is caused by the treatments. Since I felt good, he went ahead and did the chemo. We'll check it again on the 10th of October and if it is still low, we'll do a blood transfusion to get it up and help my energy levels(which are not too bad right now).before my last scheduled one on 10/18/17. Still waiting on the "poison" to make me tired---hope it waits until after the game Saddy nite.
Hope all of you are well. Sandy and I appreciate all of the prayers, thoughts, and concern from all of you. We'll stay in touch.
Go Tigers!!!!!
Ron

Hang in there "Old Man". You have been added to my prayer list. I must have a direct connection because the last three on my prayer list have emailed me to say they had received good reports.

You have not been forgotten. Many are praying for a full and speedy recovery and no side effects from the chemo.
Praying for you everyday as are many others.

Glad to hear you are tolerating treatment well. One positive side effect of the carboplatin - mosquitos haven't touched me in five years now! (Clearly this stuff either changes your body chemistry or stays in your blood a very long time.) Praying you enjoy many years of mosquito immunity, too!
