Visit to Cancer Centre for Deb to have a further blood test to monitor her progress with recovery of platelet production.
Deb's platelet counts since completing her 6th cycle of PCV chemotherapy :
(range in normal healthy adults is 140 - 440)
16.05.11 --- 43
23.05.11 --- 51
31.05.11 --- 68
09.06.11 --- 106
After having the blood test saw Claire (Macmillan nurse) who subsequently discussed the results with Dr Sanghera. Results are good. They show bone marrow is recovering and has not been wiped out completely by the chemotherapy.
It was agreed that no further blood tests were necessary until Deb sees Dr Sanghera on 4 July. At that meeting the results of Deb's next MRI scan (arranged for 30 June) and the continuation of the chemotherapy will be discussed.
Just a reminder, only 94 days to go until my London to Brighton Cycle Ride (see blog post for 22 May). Many, many thanks to all you kind people who have already sponsored me, If anyone else would like to make a contribution please go to:
