So...I went to chemo again today after a 3 week break...and my neutrophils had actually decreased since last week (now 1.15)! Crazy.... don't know why.... its wierd! But.... my monocyte count (another type of white blood cell) was actually high. This was a good sign, because these are usually the first cells to bounce back, and are indicative that my neutrophils will soon return.
My nurse sent me home with instructions to "make white blood cells" and I plan to go back tomorrow for another try...
I'll keep you posted!
In the mean time I got to spend an extra evening in with some girlfriends.... I have to say, though I want to get this over with, I'm not too disappointed being sent home as it gives me extra 'feel good' time!
Hope everyone is doing well!
