Friday

Although there are no ulcers, my mouth has been very sore and was bleeding this morning, so off we went to the cancer clinic for even more platelets - the critical level cutoff is 20, and mine's only up to 17. They pre-medicated me, but I still broke out in hives anyway, and had to take 75 more mgs of intravenous Benedryl and two 50 mgs shots of hydrocortisone. I'm zonked, but the itching has stopped, and so has the bleeding.
