Tom is feeling much better! Tuesday night he started to turn the corner and yesterday was feeling much better. Today was even better than yesterday and so begins his climb back to feeling “good” for a few brief days before he gets hit with chemo again - for the last time!
Tom had blood work today and though his numbers were cutting in SUPER close, he did not need a blood transfusion. I wouldn’t be surprised given his numbers if he will need one next week, but for now he’s thrilled we didn’t need to do an infusion tomorrow. We’ve got some visitors coming to see us this weekend because he’s feeling better which will be great and keep spirits high – this whole diagnosis/treatment can be incredibly isolating – especially when we have the added issue of flu season approaching. Then we’ve got Thanksgiving next week for which I will probably have a sentimental holiday post. Consider yourselves warned :)
So…fingers crossed we keep our momentum going and can get him as strong as possible before this next round. The stronger he is going in, the quicker he can bounce back and get extra strong for surgery…More to come…
