Blood transfusion and low ANC

Hemoglobin is 7.2 this morning and Lucas got blood since the nurse practitioner we saw worries that if he gets sick, it would be a lot of burden for his heart.  His ANC dipped into under 500 also (390) and platelets 34.  So after spending 8 hours in the clinic getting blood today, we will go back on Friday to recheck to see if he needs more blood products.  Jianwei and I have been taking turns to take him since we need to go so often.  MWF this week.   Next Tuesday and Wednesday Lucas is due for Vincristine and lumbar puncture.  Obviously when they say chemo hold, they only meant 6MP and MTX.

    Mon, Wed, Fri in the clinic! So far, LTM seems like just as much "work" as frontline. I hope it eases up on your family soon.

    Yes, LTM has not been easy for us. A lot of clinic visits.
