As it turns out we aren't going to the Cancer Center today. Why, you ask? Well, because instead we are going tomorrow for a SEVEN hour infusion, then the hour of platelets, then no doubt a half hour wait before drawing blood from his port.

The very faint silver lining? We're getting a room instead of a pod.

So frustrating. I had hoped the simple infusion would work. I've been reading about how to keep platelets up but I think this is beyond eating fatty fish and greens (which we do) and not drinking alcohol (which he has stopped). The seven hour infusion is supposed to make his platelets want to stay and hang out in his body. We shall see.

We've had equally long days there before but for some reason we just were kind of crushed about this. I don't know. I guess we just had our week planned and then boom. I canceled my meetup with a friend. After Christmas, I guess. My leg pain is a tiny bit better so I am crossing my fingers for tomorrow. It will all be fine, as long as that infusion works.

Ok. I have nothing else of interest. I'll report in tomorrow.

Onward.
