John's Second Chemo today

Hi

John has had his second Chemo today and he appears to be fine.

We got the full results of the recent blood test and we can see an improvement.

His first set on the 17 August were        todays 7 Sept are
                            Hb: -   10.9                         11.7   This is the Anemia indicator and needs to be a bit higher
                            WBC: 19.6                         11.3   Bad blood cells so we need these down more
                            Plts: -  383                           228
                            Neuts: 17.76                        10.10  again these need to come down a bit more
                            Bil:      156                             80  This is the Jaundice indicator and the lower the number the better.

Hopefully if they reduce as much after this Chemo they will be able to start his third drug next time, so we are living in hope.

Mum in Law was having 2 pints of blood today to try to restore what she lost in the fall and they are going to refer her for at least 2 weeks Respite/Rehabilitation to allow us to change her bedroom around and get a hospital bed and sensor mat.  Also to get the carpet cleaned first.

Thanks to everyone who has sent us their good wished.

Hugs Hazel
