Greetings everyone,
I thought I should offer an update given last weeks episode. I went back to Dana Farber for my regularly scheduled Friday appointment where they took my blood to find out that this week my my WBC count rebounded beautifully. I went from .99 (Low) to 5.1 (high side of normal). The week off of chemo last week (and a few Chinese herbs) I think did the trick!
I was pleased that not only did my WB cells go up, but also that they did decide to just skip last weeks treatment, and so I don't have to make it up. Thus I have just started my 5th of 6 rounds. 5 more weeks left. With the start of a new round comes the "heavier" chemo. Once again I didn't sleep well last night (because of the steroids) finding myself unable to fall asleep until 4:30 a.m this morning. But those late hours allow me to catch up. This time I got caught up on episodes of Downtown Abbey!
I hope everyone enjoys their weekend with family and friends.
Love to you all,
Renee
