Chemo - Take Seven

(It has finally cooled off here in North Carolina - helping us get ready for Halloween)

Yesterday, Dad went to the eye doctor for his final checkup. Things appear to be all healed, which is great. Today, Dad had an appointment with his oncologist for a check up to see if he was ready for chemo.

The good news is that Dad's white blood cell counts were back up and he was cleared to receive chemotherapy today. However, his red cell count was pretty low - so we have scheduled a blood transfusion for tomorrow, which should boost those numbers back up.

Dad also received a prescription for pain medicine patches for his hip. We will see if this new approach will give Dad even more relief.
