I know its been a couple weeks since I have put up a new post. I will get back on track today and I will be posting an update each week. Since my last update I have seen the hematologist, the nutritionist, and my primary care physician. I have had some more test to help identify what has been causing my low platelet and white blood cell counts as well as my weight loss. Although there are a couple of results that I have not yet received, it seems that all of these problems are side effects of my medication. Now that the doctors are sure that there are no other causes of these problems they will be able to manage each of these issues.
I have been referred to a nutritionist to help control my weight loss. She has placed me on a 2500 calorie diet, as well as some vitamins and supplements. I am just getting this plan set up, but believe that this will stop my weight loss and slowly allow me to gain back to a healthy weight.

I guess it's good that it's the medicine making you sick, because at least you know what it is. Hopefully they will come up with the magic formula soon. Keep the faith and hang in there. - Scott
