Doctor's appointment

We went to the oncologist today to check on the blood count after the transfusion of 2 pints of blood. The hemoglobin was 11 g/dl which is up from about 8. This is good news indicating that this should help Sally's strength. The platelets are still low, but no worse that before (about 56,000). The main problem with Sally's feeling is still the nausea. This is puzzling to us and the doctor. He suggests that we see a gastroenterologist to make sure that we are not missing something like an ulcer and suggested we take a proton pump inhibitor. He prescribed Prevacid. Sally will see the gastroenterologist tomorrow morning. She took a Pepcid when we got home and later when we got the prescription she took a Prevacid. Afterwords she felt better. The edge was off the nausea and she looked much more animated than she has in days. So we shall see.
