How low can it go?


Happy Halloween out there.
My platelet count has gone way down again even though I'm on steroids to bring it up for surgery.
Down I tell ya...what's up with that? I stay on the Prednisone through next week, have a blood draw and if it isn't better, then I guess it's on to a transfusion. This is so disheartening.
Did I mention that Prednisone makes one depressed? Well, at this moment after hearing the news from the doctor, I am as low as one can go I think.
My Mom said that her count dropped dramatically as well and she starts another round of chemo this week.
