Today's Chemo Treatment

We left bright and early again this morning for the chemo appointment in Wenatchee.
Lucky day today - they started out slow and kept speeding up the drip so that eventually Terry was receiving twice the rate as last week, which means we got done a little earlier than last week. No reactions - all went well! YaaHoo!

Today's blood work:
WBC = 3.1(L) - low, but higher than it's been for a long time.
RBC = 4.04(L) - low, but slightly higher than it's been for a long time.
Platelet Count = 48(L) - right about where it has been for a long time.
Neutrophils = 1.6(L) - low, but higher than it's been for a while.

The doctor sounded encouraged - and said if the numbers are like this next week she will claim that it's the Ofa (chemo) doing it's job.
