Today is T-180, and we just got back from our second appointment in Moses Lake. Things are going well except for the blood counts. I know - that is a big part of things! Terry is feeling more fatigued and we've seen on paper today a part of why that might be.
His WBC and Neutrophils are critically low, at 1.5 and .3, which means stay out of public places, wash and peel (as applicable) everything you eat, everyone stay as clean and healthy as possible, etc.
There is good news. Terry is taking fewer meds, and can even cut back on the minerals, like magnesium and calcium he has had to take. Fewer is always better, especially since there is such a handful every morning and evening, and even a few in the afternoon. None of them however, will help with his white blood counts.
We always get anxious for the next weeks reports, even right after having this weeks. Silly huh!
Well, I'm going to get up and clean something ... anything! Just trying to do some good! :)
Have a great day!

Is he eligible for a nupogen shot? Jax couldn't because of his type of cancer but I know alot of patients get them when their ANC is that low?? Poor guy.
sO SORRY TO HEAR THAT COUNTS AREN'T WHERE WE WOULD LIKE THEM TO BE BUT WE CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR TERRY AND THE WHOLE FAMILY. THANKS FOR THE REUNION UPDATE. HOPE TO SEE YOU NEXT TIME I AM YOUR WAY.
