We didn't wrap up Wednesday until late, getting home at 12:30 AM. The second IVIG was done on Thursday afternoon, finishing up about 2:15 AM. We got home just after 3 AM, slept for a couple of hours, then got up at 6 to get into rush hour traffic to get back for a 7 AM appointment this morning. Platelets had come up to just over 100 so we were out of there in a few hours, relieved to not face another long day. Blood pressure has been high the last two days. Not sure why.
Chemo tomorrow all day, then just a couple of hours on Sunday. Blood next Friday, Rituxan to start treating the ITP next Saturday. By the way, we've learned that the complication of the ITP with this lymphoma is indeed rare as the doctor had indicated, happening in only about 2% of cases.
It's been a difficult, exhausting week.
