Ralph’s appetite improved, today, and he has been able to keep everything down. He received platelets and walked his laps. Thank goodness the US Open is distracting him! Dr. Raptos predicted that Ralph’s counts will begin to rise on Monday (Ralph’s 55th birthday) and that Ralph would not feel as badly. Megan and Nathan visited. He answered all his calls, as well.
Another patient, named Paula, visited Ralph in the hopes that he could inform as well as comfort her. She has the same type of cancer, but it affected her kidneys. She was diagnosed in January. She described her symptoms as flu-like with nausea that lasted over a month. Paula received her transplant, today, and wanted to know what to expect. Ralph encouraged her.
