Had a CT scan and brain MRI today. The MRI was 40 minutes of having my head clamped in a box listening to very loud machine generated sound frequencies. It seemed like it lasted forever. These tests along with the bone scan from last Friday should indicate the cancer's progress or lack (hopefully) thereof . I won't find out until next Tuesday (2/3)
Lois planned on treating me to lunch at the local diner after my tests and we ran into our former neighbors ("exdoor neighbors"), Wayne and Carole, who happen to be in town visiting their kids. Wayne treated so Lois still owes me one.
That's 2 days in a row of eating out. We had lunch with my cousins and siblings yesterday - the weather finally allowed it . It was a small group (9) and we had a good time together.
Tuesday's blood test results showed that my blood platelet count (94) has dropped out of the normal range (130 to 400). It was 177 on the previous Tuesday. They told me to be careful shaving. I guess if it gets too low (don't know what level yet) I get a transfusion.
