Yesterday, Medicated Man invited Marco to go fishing and Marco agreed. So after sitting in his fishing chair and taking in the sun. They didn't even get a damn nibble on the line. So about 12:00 o'clock I called Marco to see if he had caught something for dinner yet and he replied with " You better have Red Barron Pizza on speed dial" ...I was cracking up. So to make this long story short....he didn't bring one damn fish home. Good thing I made him a snack...one of his favorite.....chicken in Salsa dePato with some red rice on the side, beans and some guacamole to top things off.
His appetite has been good .....he just needs to eat slow to keep it down. But all in all, he has been doing well. After getting home from fishing yesterday, I notice that Marco had some red spots on his neck and on his legs. This could be an indicator of low platelets but we will know for sure tomorrow when he goes in for his labs.
An appointment is given for lab work after every chemo cycle is finished to check his platelet. Usually after one week, so along with this appointment a tentative appointment is also given for a possible transfusion of platelets but only if needed. No time wasted @ COH. So crossing our fingers that he won't need it.
