11 - 13-16
On Wednesday last we had some good news and some bad news. The good: the offending blood test got to normal limits after weeks out of range. The bad: another test rose to out of acceptable range. Consequently, stay the course - three weeks on, one week off.
We were not surprised. Even recognizing that fatigue is consistent with my age, the degree suggested that I had some MM at work - even Dr. Abonour agreed.
So, why am I typing this just a bit past 3:00am on Sunday morning. Because I can't sleep, even though I had just over three hours of sleep last night. The steroid from Wednesday is wearing off, I can tell from how I feel, but there is enough left to enable me to type here. Fortunately the Colts have a bye so this afternoon should be good nap time.
Having been through this enough times to establish a pattern, its chemo and steroid on Wednesdays, fairly normal (whatever that is) until Thursday afternoon, then a couple of days of my being irritating and irritable - by Sunday almost livable.
I will see Dr. Abonour on December 7. I should get back here soon thereafter.
