Another Clinic, Another Drug, Another Transfusion

Today Adam had clinic and everything went well. His blood work looked good, however the ANC was still somewhat elevated, which means that the Histoplasmosis is active and working his system, so they prescribed another drug today to start attacking this virus.

His hemoglobin is also slowly dropping from 13 down to 9 today , so to counteract that they are going to schedule him to come back in tomorrow for another transfusion. The chemo is taking its toll on him, and his blood counts are showing it, even if he is not.

Adam knows that he is at the end of his chemo to say that he is happy about it is an understatement. Soon the constant weakness and nausea may soon be over, or replaced by other symptoms as the radiation begins shortly after his last chemo session. But at least the light at the end of the tunnel is now much closer than it was in November.
