New Low

We went in last week for another treatment. Layne's counts were low for white blood cells and platelets. I was concerned to hear that since it was unexpected. They even double checked just to be sure. I was kind of hoping we'd just 'plow' through the treatments and be done. We had already figured out that he would be done by the end of December given the schedule we were following. So, that's another factor. We will now get to pay even more money because the treatments will go into 2013. The hope was to be done and celebrate a new year with no chemo. Oh well...
I was a bit worried at first because I wasn't sure exactly what that meant for Layne (to have low counts) and rather he'd be alright. He did end up being more tired than usual. There were a couple of times he wondered why he had no energy...as if he felt like he had been given the infusion.
The Doctor/Staff didn't seem to think it was too big of a deal. Apparently, it happens often enough that they didn't seem too concerned.
We're heading in tomorrow to try again. Here's to a good count!
