Good Morning and wishes for good health to all.
Can anyone give me a clue...Don got hit on the calf of his leg Fri. the 19th by the bottom corner of the car door. It took a chunk of skin off about the size of a dime (thru his cotton trousers). We were going to the Hematologist for his Neupogen injection right away so he asked to nurse to bandage it. All was well except that by Mon. it was still bleeding or ozing. The Hemo. prescribed Cipro as a precaution and all seemed to be going ok except that he was developing a flat pinkish pinpoint rash above the injury. It has been causing him some discomfort walking but he tries to keep moving tho sometimes with a limp. We noticed last night that his leg is swollen clear down below his ankle also rash is progressing down his leg.
Since this adventure for us started in June there's a lot I don't know about.
WBC and Platelets are the two strains that are low. Was on 1 injection and week and found he needed 2 less powerful injections of Nerpogen a week. It is raising his WBC. Platelets are 36 on the 19th.
I would appreciate any input you may have.
Thanks
Geri
