New numbers
Posted on October 8th, 2008 by Merle
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.

WooHoo, you get to feel sick!!! See you soon. Lots of love.
I am so glad that your numbers are up so you can feel worse in order to get better!
Hope the kids enjoyed the cake without too much sugar buzz…
