Dad took Mom to the Cancer Center for her new chemo today; however, her platelets were too low to receive the treatment. Her counts must be 100 or above and she was at 77. Thursday when we went to the ER, she was at 96, and Friday she had dropped to 81. The platelet counts generally cycle in the body and we're hoping that she's on the down cycle right now and will rebound soon. She's scheduled to go back on Friday and try again for the treatment. Mom has asked that I thank everyone for your cards and prayers. It has certainly meant a lot to her. Also, we'd like to thank Mike Argabrite for his frequent visits and prayers with Mom. We're praying that her platelet count rises and she's able to get started on her chemo again on Friday.
