Not sure if anyone remembers, but I posted a few weeks ago about my start to 2011 and how sucky it has been. One of the things weighing heavily was my DH. Long story short, his platelet count has been dropping alot. As an oncology RN, I know this could mean a few things, a few being Leukemia or Lymphoma. For the past few weeks, I have had this cloud of fear and anxiety hanging over me. I was scared. What if DH had cancer? How would he deal with the treatment? God forbid what if his life was cut short? Levi is supposed to have a daddy. If DH is sick, he would miss out on so much, etc. We are supposed to grow old together. All these things that go through your mind with the "what if's".
Well, DH had his appointment today and was diagnosed with ITP. Basically, a chronic low platelet count. Nothing else. PRAISE THE LORD!!! Compared to the alternative, this is amazing. I have such a weight lifted from my shoulders. It is crazy how things change when you are faced with a possibility of your DH having canver. Be thankful for your health ladies, and hug your loved ones extra tight!
Re: Follow up to DH....
YAY!!!!!!! Wahoo! I am so excited for you. So what comes with ITP? Does he have continuous treatment or is it just something he lives with?

I'm so glad that its "just" ITP!
