Luke here. Nothing much to report unfortunately. The reports on Nathan's bone marrow biopsy were not available yesterday. We are hoping to get them today, but as Nathan's primary onc is out of the office on Tuesdays, we may not get them until tomorrow morning. Nathan was in for a short exam yesterday. Mostly he just got his counts and a quick check to make sure he tolerated the weekend after chemo well, which he did. His counts are okay and haven't dropped too much yet. His WBC and ANC (immune system indicators) were still up. His hemoglobin was still good so no need for red blood cells yet. His platelets are already low though. As you may remember, we started this cycle without his platelets ever really making counts. He gets an off day today and then back into the clinic tomorrow morning for counts. He will likely need a platelet transfusion tomorrow or Thursday. Definitely by the end of the week. Looks like we will do the CT scan in about a week and half. So right now we will just be monitoring counts and hoping for good results on the bone marrow. We'll be in this mode for a week or so and then we jump into scans and determining when surgery or possible additional rounds of chemo will take place.
Thanks for checking in. We'll post bone marrow results when we get them.
