Another blood test last Thursday. Things are OK, but only OK. My red cell count was only 8.9 (should be 13-15) so I am a little weak.
The doctor said it was probably down to there not being much marrow in my bones. I will go back in three weeks time to see if things have improved. If they haven't then after my holiday/wedding/honeymoon trip to Rhodes I will be having another bone marrow test - you know the one where they apple core your pelvis to get inside your bones.
They aren't concerned about cancer (at this point) but it will just be a procedure to see what's going on inside my bones.
The doctor described my 32km bike ride the day before as 'impressive' considering my low RBC.
For some reason my platelets are also still on the low side at 31 (or was it 51?) either way, low. No cuts and bruises for me please.

So pleased to hear about your forthcoming wedding and best wishes for the future.
I am sure when you come back things will have improved so don't worry and have a wonderful time.
So you're getting married, is this instead of or as well as the camping trip?
Congrats matey, all the best to you both.
