Weekly Musings : Week 40 Have to Be Careful

As things were settling down we had a small incident where Manas slipped a bit in the bathroom and got a cut in his leg. There was slight bleeding as the toe skin had come off. His GCSF was given and his counts were good. His maintenance phase now officially starts from 7^th September. As he had a cut we were asked to be very careful in the maintenance phase to avoid any kind of injury or infection. Funny how mind works because as soon as the major phase is done, there is a rush to catch up, but then there is need to exercise caution and be careful.

Weekly Musings : Week 39 Still Settling Down

This week Manas maintenance phase was to start, he was excited. We went to do the blood test and his counts were low hence Dr Shobha asked us to give GCSF for 4 days and then come again. We all thought things will settle down soon but realized that 6 months of intense chemo injections will take time to taper down. The week was fine and Manas has started his studies and onlines classes. The school also admitted him and he is settling down to the normal that was there a year ago. We now give him cricket practice at home with a light tennis ball.
