Need more...

My blood work today (after 1 1/2 weeks) dropped from 9.5 to 7.5. What a drag! 

I'm slated to get 2 bags tomorrow at Good Sam's outpatient transfusion group (not sure what they do but it's nothing to do with cancer, and it's pretty tough to get a quick appt. They also required a blood type, which I just zipped in to have to ensure I'd be able to have no delays tomorrow.) The flobatomist said she could see 5 blood types taken recently (between the hospital and the clinic, but we aggreed to just do it in case there was a requirement for there dept. to check it to be sure.

I've been pretty tired and coughing a bit. Since it's not caused anything similar to before, Dr Blanchette thinks it's a slow ooze, and we should get solid with this for the time being.

The great (hopefully) news, is I'm not only approved for the new drug Keytruda/PD-1 and they just got it for my appt on 9/30. She thinks this could act quickly enough to help impact the tumors likely causing blood leaking/oozing.

I'm not feeling overly funny right now, but I'll do my best on the next update. At least I had zero issue driving myself to get the blood type done.
