Well today I had my last round (3 treatments) of the first batch of chemo. I still feel pretty good, a little tired, but all in all, better than I have felt in a month really. Pretty short treatments with just the two drugs, so I am only there for about 3 hours total. They took a blood test and my WBC is still around 600,000, which is where it was last Sunday morning, and my Red went down from 21 to 19, but I still have energy. I don't get winded taking a shower or climbing the stairs, which is good. The last two times I have had a transfusion, I have been at 16, so I am not there yet, but we have to watch it. I can pretty much tell when I need one.
One of the reasons why my WBC has not dropped dramatically with the new drugs is that they take from 7-12 days to complete their job. So, hopefully I will be seeing some drops next week.
I am still on track to go to UCSD next Tuesday, and then back to my local Dr. next Friday. With no treatments or appts until then, I probably won't have much to say unless I have to have another transfusion.
So if you don't hear from me, that is a GOOD thing.
All for now
Terry
