Went to the doctor yesterday for a checkup. They will do a full body scan at the end of July to check on how things are going. Although the treatment will not have had time to complete its work, they will be checking to make sure that none of my tumors are larger. As long as they are the same size, or hopefully smaller than it will be a good report. All my blood levels are getting back to normal, except for my White Blood Cell count. The RAI treatment can affect a persons bone marrow, so they monitor my bloodwork more closely after treatment. My levels were a low a few weeks ago, but they were not too concerned, but on thursday they were even lower, so the docs want to monitor me a little closer. I will have another set of labs drawn monday to make sure they are stabilizing, or going back up. As long as they do not keep going down I should be fine. The doctor just told me to call if I feel like I have fever or chills, or seem to be getting sick. I guess one of the biggest concerns is that if I were to get sick, my body would have alot harder time fighting the infection. I know alot of you have been praying, and I thank you for that, it really means alot and I know I will get through this with God's help.
Take Care,
Hattie
