Went Wednesday for my 6th round of chemo, and also my immunotherapy ( usually not same day, but occasionally lines up). Drew blood as per usual and then a brief consult with the physicians assistant. The oncologist said they have to postpone treatment until next week due to my platelets being very low ( low 40’s) Apparently I have chemo induced thrombocytopenia (CIT) they will treat me with an injectable to counter and hopefully, my platelets will recover enough to not have to postpone further. I admit this concerns me somewhat. I searched around for info on CIT and found that with the added treatment and sometimes altering the treatment schedule chemo can (usually) resume. I can only have faith that this will be the case for me. The persistent back pain continues to concern me, but my increasing ability to eat is very encouraging.

Praying for you. I'm heading for surgery in a couple of days. Keep me in your prayers. If you're a God fearing person.
