My platelets are at 77,000! Woohoo. Praise the Lord. Down to 10 mg of prednisone. Thank you for all your prayers. I go back in in 2 weeks, so excited to have a week off from the needle. Keep you all updated. Have a great fourth of July.

My platelets are up at 47,000.  My doc wasn't in so the other physician there is keeping me on 15mg of prednisone still.  She said that if it is really on an upswing, that is most likely due to the chemo, and that hopefully next week we'll start the SLOW process of weaning me off the prednisone.  That would be AMAZING!  I'm very over being on this drug. 
So, good news that my platelets are up and I feel more safe going camping this weekend. Please continue to pray for my platelet count to keep growing higher, my side effects from the prednisone to be minimal and for my safety.  Will update again next week. Thanks!

Had my platelets checked today and they are at 23,000.  Dr. Folbe said that the chemo might take a while to start working so not to be too alarmed.  I'm staying on 15mg a day of prednisone and my next check up is in a week.  If you have any questions please feel free to leave them here. 
Please pray that my count goes up and that the chemo worked. Thanks for your support.
