Platelet Update
I have some this week! We had my count done on Wednesday since I've been taking the Dexamethasone (which from now on will be referred to as 'Dex') on Thursday mornings. I discussed the possibility with Dr. K of leaving my count untreated and asked the likelyhood of my platelets working 'harder' than a normal person's since I tend to not have any symptoms (bleeding, bruising, petechiae). She said she was comfortable leaving them untreated at 30,000. Wednesday, they were 47,000 nearly a week after the dex. Yay! No dex this week for me which means I get to sleep. I'm so happy about that.
