Those were the words today from the Dr. In spite of Ray having 7 transfusions of platelets(4) and packed red blood cells(3) since last Frday, his counts are still declining. So again today he had to have one more of each and will continue going to the hospital each day of the weekend for more blood tests to determine if he'll need even more transfusions. Needless to say, Ray was very discouraged after today's appt. The Dr. said it is taking longer for the marrow to recover from this last round of chemo.
The Dr. and his wonderful nurse (she really is a sweetheart) both gave him a good "talking to" about not letting this get him down. When I picked him up from the hospital this evening his spirits were much better.
Best wishes to everyone for a blessed and safe holiday.
Love you all,
Kim
