Lisa's pre-chemo blood tests today showed her anemia continues to get worse, despite Lisa trying to eat more red meat and protein.  Her red blood count is the lowest it's ever been since she first started getting cancer treatments, so she is being scheduled to get blood via transfusion on Friday.  She's not so low that she has to have a transfusion, but she's low enough that she'll certainly benefit from it and feel better overall and less fatigued.

Lisa did have her chemo treatment today, and will have to go in tomorrow for her immune system booster treatment.  But this is her last week of treatment scheduled until January.  She will still have to go in for blood tests before then, and on Dec 31st she'll also be going in for a PET/CT scan.
