Thanks for sharing that Jacqui and thanks to everyone for helping to keep my spirits lifted.

I got to see a graph of my platelet count today and over the last 9 weeks, it looks like a kid taking a nose dive off the high diving board and frankly I'm kind of concerned.

I talked to my Dr. about it last week and he said it was still within ok limits. The thing is, the trend has been very downward and I am concerned about where this is headed. He told me that if it went down more, I'd have to put my treatments off for a week or maybe a transfusion. I did some reading (which my husband had scolded me for) and found that low platelets mean low clotting ability. When the counts get too low, they also put you either in the hospital or on total bedrest so you don't bump yourself and bleed to death. Nice.

I also read that 50% of women with ovarian cancer have a relapse. It did not say what stage the first round of ovarian cancer was but it concerns me greatly.

Add to that that I can't remember stuff....chemo fog they call it...so I don't feel like I'm doing much that is right lately.

My next few days are when my immune system is down and I need to just stay home and not see anyone so I almost feel like I'm in hiding.

It's not been a good day for me.
