It had been 5+ weeks since Jethenro had been to the clinic for chemo. I breathed a sigh of relief when his port was accessed and knew his port was working~for having one replacement surgery~is enough! Since the NP no longer works at the clinic, the associated hospital have been sending in relief doctors to help out. Jethenro had the visiting physician do his lp. While he was working~one of the regular doctors peaked around the curtain and informed us that he had taught this doctor how to do this procedure while working at the teaching hospital earlier in his career. So we recognize the close association.
The blood lab results showed that Jethenro's platelets were low, so even though his ANC was above the magic#, oral chemo has been suspended for a week. Blood recheck is scheduled next week.
