My last dosage of mustard gas (Nitrogen Mustard) was given on Thursday. This chemo drug has thus far been the worst for inducing nausea. So far I have made it through the weekend without needing any anti-nausea medication. Hopefully this will be the last exposure to mustard gas of my lifetime!
My red blood cell count is much improved after the transfusion, although I am still below normal. Instead of a hematocrit level of 22.4% of total red blood cells, I was up to 33.0. Normal is between 35 and 60. My overall red blood cell count was lower than normal, but again an improvement. I still don’t feel any substantial improvement in energy, but I know I am better off after the transfusion.
This week I get chemo one day early, to avoid the Thanksgiving Holiday. I am taking Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday off of work. A nice long weekend will be greatly appreciated. My body needs the extra rest.

Sounds like things are on the downhill slide. Have a good 4 days of rest, Christy and I hope you and Rebecca have a happy Thanksgiving.
