We are in the hospital as we speak having a cardiac scan done. I have my feet propped up and relaxing a while. The cardiac scan was at 1:00pm and the PET Scan is at 3:30pm and needless to say we are running about 40 minutes late so far on the cardiac scan and probably will be at least 1-2 hours late on the PET Scan. Michael is starving to death - he thinks. Nothing to eat since last night and can't eat or drink anything other than water until after the PET Scan. We are praying for a clearer if not clear report from the Pet Scan than the one after round 4. We should have the results on Friday when we see the Dr. Hopefully we will get the okay to come home for Labor Day before starting the next round of chemo. Michael has felt good the past couple of days. We did have to have platelets last night since his platelet count was down to 2 yesterday. They dropped from 20 to 2 in 24 hours. Platelets 10 or under requires a platelet transfusion and hemoblogin7.1 and under requires two units of blood.
