May 2020
My blood test on Friday, May 1, showed that my blood platelets had gone up to 115. I was glad that I could now carry on with my chemotherapy. On May 6, my body had strong chemotherapy drugs. I slept a lot during the day and found that my eyesight was getting worse. On May 12, I went for a walk outside around my block and ended up falling to the ground as my body could not stay standing on its own. This caused my face and hands to get hurt. I now am careful to workout with machines that keep me safe. I have become very weak but continue to work out as best as I can. Sadly, I fell again May 29, which has now moved me to walking with a walker. I don't want to fall again. My blood test on May 27, showed that my blood platelets had gone down to 28. I spoke with my doctor on May 29, and talked about going to an MRI more quickly. I now will have another MRI test on June 1, get blood work done June 3, and on June 5, discuss with Dr. Pitz how to move forward. It will be interesting to see
