New Round started today

Hi,
I started my third round of chemo today- proceeded by another pint of delicious blood. The doc says I am producing new young red blood cells so I'm moving in the right direction. My platelets are good and I just need to remain calm and proceed. So that's the plan.
Oy
Our renovation is almost 100% done- we are sleeping upstairs and using one of the new bathrooms. It is beautiful. No lie.
The doc took extra blood to test my boy vs girl white blood cells.  It takes a week to get the results. 3 months ago it was almost 50/50. The goal is to get me back to all boy (donor), thus my regret over that awesome skirt. Once I'm all boy again, Ima need more girly clothes!

Needed more blood ...... so I got it

Hi,
I was feeling out of breathe last weekend so I went to the docs and established I was about a pint low. I spent the day getting refueled. I'm at about 75%. This relapse has def slowed me down.
Not loving this but I am carrying on. I just grouted the last tile work I did on the bathroom renovation and it is pretty sweet. I'm still bummed about not buying that skirt.
Taking care,
B
