I received my Zometa..

..infusion yesterday. I asked the nurse to run a blood count on me as I only had 4 more days of Revlimid. You need to have your blood work done before you can reorder the next months supply. My wbc was 2.8 (L) and my platelets were 26 (L). They normally have to transfuse platelets if they drop below 20. This means I am at risk for infection and for bleeding. Hopefully everything will increase during my week off the Revlimid. I see Dr Goldman on Thursday Feb 11th. He may have to adjust my dosage.

I continue to get occasional muscle spasms in my feet and legs and my feet burn at night. I had forgotten the wonderful side effects of this medication being off of it for 2 years. I have tried taking a Valium when I go to sleep to prevent the spasms but then I can sleep for 12 hours and nap all day. My L hip pain is almost completely gone from the radiation therapy. Believe it or not this not a complaint post. I am feeling great most of the time and blessed to be celebrating my 5th anniversary with mm in 12 more days. Plus I just celebrated my 43 rd wedding anniversary last week. Which means I don't give up easily. : )
