Just got my latest blood work today, and I don’t know whether to be happy or concerned.

My lymphocytes dropped from 120 thou/cumm to 93 thou/cumm, which is good, but my hemoglobin dropped to 11.6 g/dl, my platelets dropped to 185 thou/mcl and my LDH was up to 160 IU/L, which are all bad trends. (No mention of polychromasia.)

Now while my hemoglobin and platelets have been down at those levels before, this is the highest my LDH has been since it was at 153 IU/L back in January.

[BIG SIGH] I just hate this! The prospect of starting treatment any time soon weighs so heavily on my mind now, especially since Edie has decided she wants to try and go for the transplant again, I can’t seem to think rationally any more.

I’m hoping racing at Eldorado tonight will clear my mind.

    Maybe it’s due to stress. You’ve had the audit on your mind for over a month, then worrying about Edie and yourself, me missing work and being late on a regular basis these days.

    It just goes to show you, it’s always something.

    Good night my little Roseanne Roseannadanna
