I was able to come home today around 6:00 PM. It has been an interesting week, and as some of you know my Hickman catheter (what chemo/antibiotics are run through) had to be pulled from my chest on Saturday morning because of an infection. A doctor placed a pick line in my right bicep yesterday (inserted into the Brachial artery), and it will do the same job as a Hickman catheter. For the last couple of days, my white blood count has triple twice, which allowed me to come home. I was given two units of blood and one of platelets today to make sure that my counts continue to rise. It is amazing that my recovery time was only six days compared to eleven days from round two. I will have one more round of chemo on July 6th, so I ask for your prayers that all continues to go well.
God Bless,
Mic
