What's new ... you say?

...The hemoglobin is 121 (with the help of aranesp)
The creatine is 276 from 358 (awesome)

Now I'm getting my color back... my skin is pink again.

Getting Better

...Its funny how sick one can be and then just like a miracle, you get all better. I'm starting to gain some strength as time goes on. I don't nap in the afternoon anymore.

Last Tuesday, the doctor called me to inform that my creatine had gone down from 403 to 336. If these number keep going down, I should be able to resume my previous life (pre-sept 2007).

The high blood pressure has come down because of the meds. They will start to pull back some meds and assess the results from that - yahoo.

One solved, one to go

...On Thursday, the oncologist did say the word "remission" and that sure took a load off our shoulders.

On the other hand, my creatine was at 443 on Tuesday and down to 403 on Friday. If this is a trend, I might be out the water with my kidney problems.

I have to have bloodwork every Monday now to monitor both the blood level and creatine.

Once resolved, I'll be a new man.
