I’m going to do today now before I get too tired.

There’s good news and bad news.  The bad news is that I’m anemic enough that they want to give me a transfusion (2 units).  The less-bad part of that news is that I’m doing well enough that they were able to do today’s infusion, and I’ll get the blood on Thursday, before the pump disconnect.  I’m actually relieved to know that I’m anemic because I’ve lost so much stamina.  The anemia is from the chemo, not from the disease, so, in a sense, that’s a relief.  Let’s see what the transfusion does for me.

The good news (handed along to me in passing by my sweetie; I didn’t hear it during the exam and I’m not sure the nurse actually mentioned it there) is that my liver is smaller.  So the chemo is doing something for me as well as to me.  Happy Thanksgiving!

That’s pretty much how I spent my day.  I’m going to take a rest now.  Oh, by the way, our landline is working again.
