November 5 - Day 25
The last ten days have been spent getting rescanned (CT Scan and Chest X-Ray for pneumonia), and monitoring blood levels and topping up where required. In total I got 5 units of platelets and 4 units of red blood cells.
I also got a new PIC line inserted to replace the old Hickman.
The other issue is fevers once or twice a day, treated with tylenol. I literally sweat the fevers out over a few hours.
From today forward, my blood counts should be starting to rise, and with white cells, little irritations like mouth sores as well as larger ones like chest lesions should start clearing up as well.
You do suggest that things are going to start looking up. That is encouraging. Do they give you a special diet to help with raising the blood count? I hope they're giving you more than jello they gave me three times a day. Keep us posted.
