I am coming to the end of our first week at home. So far so good. I have been out walking and unpacking, although still not done with that. I had an infusion of IVIG that went well and received my first set of lab results. The scorecard looks stable. My platelet count is great at 157,000, my Hb/Hct have come up a bit to 10.3/31, my ANC is steady at 800. My kidney tests are still a bit squeezed and my liver functions are normal.

All in all pretty good. I need to admit that while in Seattle at Fred Hutch I was as if under a microscope with my medical management. Here at home not so much. It makes me think that I will need to use my medical training to manage some of my meds. My local oncologist is out of town this week so when he returns next week and I see him, I think I will have more of a security blanket around me.

This weekend begins the Jewish Holy Day of Yom Kippur where we ask for forgiveness. I will ask for that in my prayers although will also thank G-d for my recent safe journey through this treatment. We wish the same good health for you.
