I have been maintaining good counts for a while now. I am really happy about that. Unfortunately the maintenance medication still has it’s rough spots. The weekly Methatrexiate shot gives me a 36 hour headache and the daily Mercaptopurine still gives me the occasional mouth sore. Last week was filled with both headache and mouth sores. This week, much better. This week’s counts:<\/p>\n
White Blood Cells: 4.7
\nHemoglobin: 15.3
\nPlatelets: 287,000
\nNeutrophils: 2,900<\/p>\n
Last week:<\/p>\n
White Blood Cells: 5.8
\nHemoglobin: 15.0
\nPlatelets: 267,000
\nNeutrophils: 3,700<\/p>\n
I wonder about the fluctuations. I may have to read up on that sometime. Nah. I’ll just ask my Oncologist\/Hematologist. You know, I don’t know anyone else who openly shares their blood counts with the world. Makes me pretty darn personable, don’t you think???<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
