I shouldn't be too surprised, but my platelets are down under 100. The radiation treatments can effect blood cell counts. Since I am on Coumadin and my count is low, I need to be very careful not to injure myself. No shaving this week. (Damn!) Beside that, the fatigue has settled in. It seems like no matter how much sleep I get, it's not enough. This should last a few weeks after treatment ends. The doctor is pleased with my progress and I will finish up on Monday as expected. 16 treatments down, four more to go. If you haven't noticed, I have been counting since it began. Time to curl up on the couch again.
