I have all good news and wanted to share it with you before the weekend begins. I went in Thursday for blood work and all of my counts were normal! Praise God for that! So, no injections this weekend!
This afternoon I got the results from the bone marrow biopsy. It was normal! Praise God again!
I am so grateful! The bone marrow results did give the Dr. information about the "cellularity" of my bones which apparently is lower than expected for someone my age. This is way beyond my understanding level, but if I understood correctly, that may help explain why my blood count doesn't bounce back as fast after chemo. I asked the nurse if there is anything I can do for that and she said, "No, it's just the way you're made.". So, I guess once again, spinach or ice cream won't help! But, I'm still going to try ice cream - just in case!
As before, thanks for your prayers. It's been a long two days - waiting for this report! I don't know if this new information will alter the treatment schedule or not. It would seem my bones are not the most cooperative he's worked with! I'm certain that we are on the road to the beginning of Cycle 3 on Tuesday, April 12! We'll see where we go from there! I'm glad I am depending on The One who is in control and that "all things are working together for my good"! (Romans 8:28)
Hi, Cheryl,
ReplyDeleteYour test findings remind me of "For you created my inmost being; you knit be together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made..." (Psalm 139:13,14). God made you the way you are and you respond to treatment because of the way you were made. Praise God your blood count is normal. He made you and He will bring you healing. We continue to pray for you.
