The roller coaster ride continues.
Bruce's blood counts were down last week. So to address the situation, they removed one of the medication that Bruce was taking, in thinking that this particular medication was the contributor to the blood counts lowering. Yesterday, as Bruce went for his appointment, they saw that the blood counts had gone down considerably (platelets specifically)and proceeded to administer another bone marrow biopsy. (Bruce went through 4 biopsies). Now we wait...again...The results should be in by next Monday.
In trying to keep our spirits up, the nurse did let us know that they have seen this before and that is most likely a medication adjustment. As this was the procedure to the diagnose, Bruce and I are a little scared having been there recently. It just brings back memories we would rather forget.
We are doing our best to keep the spirits up and positive. Up and down, and up we will go.
