Round 5, here we go.

[lynthia]

We left our intrepid cancer patient mid-round 4 in the last update. I survived, but I never got past the super tired phase. I slept a *lot*. All the way up to the day I was supposed to do my pre-chemo bloodwork, and found my platelets were at 43. A "normal" person has something in the 200-400 range, and chemo isn't safe below 100. We hoped

Big, big hugs, lady. All our live forever.

~bighugs~ You're amazing, as always.

For the platelets thing, can they give you infusions if you're low, or is it about how many you make on your own?

So far the focus has been on me making my own. I don't know if there is a reason we don't want to do transfusions or if that's not an option. Right now I'm back in the 300's, so I should be good through one more round. At least I rebound well. :)

Probably it has to do more with your *production* rate than your actual levels themselves, then.

But, um, if for some reason it would help to have more platelets, I'm told I have them to spare, and will gladly donate for your sake.

*hugs* I'm guessing that'll be a no go to see you this week.

Miss you. <3

I fully intended on replying to you that you should totally come over, we'll watch a movie, it'll be good... and then I pretty much slept through yesterday. Oops.

Next week, for sure! I have the new live action Cinderella from Netflix just begging to be watched.

To be fair, shortly after I commented at you, I realized I was coming down with something and spent Thursday and Friday home sick from work, so I wouldn't have come over, even if you had been awake. :D

But this week for sure! I have more hats for you!
