Drama

Today's chemo session promised high drama and lots of tension.

This was my first blood test after the cruise.

When I got caught taking a small chocolate cookie last night, I could tell that the research manager was convinced that my glucose levels would be high. Since I was away, I am sure that she thought my white blood cell count would be lower than two weeks ago.

The drama heightened when my weight was up 8 pounds. One would assume that carbs were the culprit.

We met with the nurse practitioner and she was genuinely pleased with my weight increase.

We got the results of the blood test from her and my ANC (related to white blood cell count) was the highest that it has been since the first treatment.

But the pressure was still on. What about the glucose?

We got the results and they were negative (the blood sugar was ok!)

It looks like I should go on a cruise every other week. :)

One other quick note. We are doing a lot of organic food now. Today I got an email offering to make our bridge club website organic. That would have to mean that we would be the healthiest bridge club to play in.

Bob and I are late for Cash Cab. See you tomorrow.
