Friends and Friends,
It's Chemo Day today and we have had some good news, Johnny's CA19's (cancer markers), are down from: 1,843 to 1,222 and as of today 618. A whopping dollop of a drop. The chemo is killing all the sensitive cancer cells. This is extremely good, good news. Today is a great day.
Although with the good comes the bad. His Platelet's are low and White Blood Counts are low. So our chemo dosage today will be halved, and he will need to have a Neupogen shot tomorrow. "Neupogen stimulates the blood system (bone marrow), which gives the body a massive boost to the body, to make white blood cells, to be able to prevent, fight off any infections should they arise during the cancer treatment".
So raise your glass or your mug of tea and toast "today is a good day for Johnny".
Johnny & Michelle
