Well, actually, it's "Let's spend the week at MD Anderson". I had to go in on Monday to get my blood typed and matched for a blood transfusion Dr. Shah ordered based on last weeks hemoglobin. Tuesday this week was the first time they could get me in for that. Jackie took me, but it was deceivingly a short visit as the week gets longer.
Tuesday Kathi takes me in for the supposed 2 hour blood transfusion. Appt 12:00pm, completed at 5:30pm. CBC indicates platelets are 40 (which is very low, 70 is the lowest margin Shah will use for me (anything lower than 100 is not good). So I know I won't get Topotecan on Wednesday, should be short day. Aranesp shot received.
Wednesday platelets are 26 (oooooh that's low) Needless to say, No Topo today. I did get Avastin, however. Appt time was 1:30pm, we managed to be out by 3:30, but now I need to go back on Friday for a Platelet transfusion. Never had one of those, but it sounds like I've reached a low.
