New numbers

I went to the hospital today and my numbers had improved dramatically:

  • White Blood Count: 2.7 (still low-ish)
  • Red Blood Count: 3.27 (still low-ish)
  • Platelet Count: 251,000 (up from 38,000 — WOO HOO)
  • ACN: 1836 (up from 392 — WOO HOO)

As a result, I received my weekly dose of Gemzar.  I’m feeling a little tired, but fine otherwise.  Of course, my first week on Gemzar it wasn’t until the next day that I started feeling yucky.  So we’ll see how I do tomorrow.  I am hoping that whatever effects from the chemo I experience, the effects dissipate before I travel with my younger son.  I really am hoping this weekend away will give my son the opportunity to forget all the responsibilities he’s taken on himself.  I want this weekend to be fun together time (with me and his aunt, uncle, and grandparents) and all about my younger son.  Here’s hoping.
