Ed had blood work today and both his red and white cell counts are low. They gave him a shot of Procrit to help rebuild the red cells and if things aren't better by next Friday, they'll give him a blood transfusion.
This was a good nurse who explained some things to us. Ed said that by the 6th round of chemo, the medical workers probably think we know it all..... but we don't. He told the nurse about his dizziness and lethargy. She asked him several things and suggested he wasn't drinking enough. He needs to help his blood cells and kidneys flush out the poisons. I've been telling him to drink more but everyone knows that men never listen to their wives!!
