04/10/08 - Quick Medical Update

On Monday, I had my blood counts checked early in the morning. No surprise - they were low. Later in the afternoon, I had to go to Moffitt to get an injection of Aranesp to boost my Red Blood Cells. I will have my blood checked again today (Thursday). I wouldn't be shocked if I needed a platelet transfusion within the next couple of days because they were low at the beginning of the week.

When I was typing this post, I went into a big diatribe about Aranesp, but then decided to put it in a separate post. Hopefully, I will get to it sooner than later...
