Ron continues to grind through, as he puts it. Other than nausea and fatigue, his symptoms have been mild...no fevers or pain. He has just the beginning of mouth tenderness. His white blood cell, red blood cell, and platelet counts (all produced in the bone marrow) have been falling slowly and are near the transfusion level. I have added an app to my phone to time Ron's laps when walking. 17 laps = 1 mile. He walked 13 laps tonight.
The nurses are great on 8A. Ron has the same 4 or 5 nurses, so you establish a relationship with them, and it is good to have the continuity, medically speaking. The nurses and nurse practitioner are truly the heart of his care. They're doing an awesome job...The Michigan Difference is the motto they follow. This is an amazing, award winning medical center.
Thanks for your support and kind wishes; we feel the presence of your positive thoughts.
Love, Ron & Jan
