TGIF...

... and I'm wrapping up some stuff. I just finished the latest round of chemotherapy (Melphalan, Revlimid, Prednisone) and now it's just a matter of waiting and seeing what happens. My white cell counts will start dropping in a few days.
Today's blood test results were typical. I needed to get transfused with platelets. I'll likely need red cells when I go in on Monday. I'm a little low on calcium but no big deal.
Dr. Peng was talking about increasing my dialysis time from three hours to four hours. Three hours is a very long time so I tracked her down to talk her out of the four hour version. My creatinine and other kidney-related counts are looking good so there's no need for a longer dialysis.
My weight has been dropping some. I'm at 160 lbs and I was at 190 lbs when all this started. I talked to one nurse and she recommends more milk shakes. I can get behind that idea.
I also made an excellent discovery, food-wise: fresh sourdough bread makes outstanding french toast.
My hands are starting to hurt again so I'm logging off.
