Dave,
It sounds like you are really doing well! Keep up the great work!
Doug had his biweekly doctor visit today. We were disappointed that he loses 5 pounds at every visit!!! He is down over 30 pounds. But he is eating a whole lot better and drinking as well. The doctor said today that he can tell that he is drinking and eating better because of the blood results. It absolutely amazes me what can be told with the blood tests. Anyway, we kept a food diary for a week and they all seem to think the eating is fine. They expect him to level off with the weight reduction soon. I hope so.
His numbers were really good today. His platelets back up over 100 after being in the 50s for awhile. His hg was 16. That was huge! He also has been having a lot more energy and has not had to have fluids for weeks.
So we keep staying the course. He is improving a lot but he doesn't feel like he is. When I look at the fact that we are at Day +63, it really puts things in perspective.
