I had my appointment with the oncologist, and they are pleased with my progress so far. I'm halfway done with this round of chemo treatments, and things still look pretty good.

I had my labwork done, and my white blood cells decreased, but not as much as last time. They went down to a 4.0, which is low, but it's still within the patient limits, so that's good. My platelets decreased more than last time, down to a 233, but they're also still within the limits. It'll be interesting to see what they jump up to next week before chemo.

I'm still tired a lot, more so this week than the past 3 weeks. But I think I'm coming down with something, so I have to be very careful about that. Luckily it's a quiet weekend and I can get some rest.

And I've gone almost a week with the wig. I'm slowly getting used to it, but I do like coming home and taking it off. It's just more comfortable. Except that I'm losing patches of the hair that was left, so it's itchy all the time. But that'll stop soon, and then it can grow back.

I have an appointment with my surgeon on November 11, so I'll find out more about what the surgeries entail. That'll help me make my guess on what to do.
