Update on Chemo Plan

- Posted in Medical Update by with comments

Hi Everyone,

As mentioned in my previous post, my neutrophils (white blood cells) are a bit too low for me to proceed with my next chemo session. The doctors will check my blood again tomorrow morning, before my scheduled session, to see if the neutrophil count has risen to acceptable levels. They did say that sometimes it can build up in a little as a day, so they want to see tomorrow if it's good enough for another round of chemo. They have also ordered a blood transfusion as my hemoglobin is a bit low. (but that won't delay my chemo).

Fingers crossed that the bloodwork tomorrow says I'm good to go. Otherwise, I am on hold for a week... lol
