Hi folks. I’m wishing you well and good health in these challenging times.
Personally I’m glad to say my medical status seems to be stable at the moment. The chemotherapy I take once every 6 weeks or so causes my platelet count to go down around weeks 4-5, so I need to be extra careful since an injury could cause continued bleeding. The bottom line is no more skateboarding …at least until the platelets come back up. As for other symptoms there’s not much, aside from a bit of aphasia where some words are slow to come to mind (if they arrive at all), and an occasionally I need a nap. But all in all, not bad.
While I’m grateful for my relative health and my family’s, these recent times have been significantly saddening due to the news of how many Black people are being unsupported, injured and killed. There’s so much to be done in this world to help the Black community, and we all have a part to play. The sadness remains… not ideal times.
As for my next MRI on Thursday, June 18th, I’ll share a blog post with details of Dr. McGranahan’s insights after that.
Until then,
Ken
