Like all my other outpatient rounds of chemotherapy, we end with a white blood cell booster shot. Neulasta. I guess it is good. My counts came back nice and quick after round two. Obviously not so well after round three. Let’s hope we do well this time 🙂 Had the Neulasta shot today. Basically that means bone aches tomorrow. Ugh. Along with being tired from chemotherapy. This soon shall pass.
Come on bone marrow! Come on hair follicles!
Well a Doppler scan on my left arm today showed yet another blood clot. These blood clots are a very probable cause of my ongoing fever. The good news is that my platelet count is now high enough for them to give me a blood thinner to try and dissolve the clots. So maybe the fever will be gone sooner! And I will be home sooner!
My blood counts are up again today. My bone marrow aspirate results are good. My bone marrow does not show leukemia. The molecular tests of the bone marrow still do show leukemia. Hence, multiple rounds of chemotherapy.
