Things are a little slow I am lower in energy and less strength every day, as it should be. I just go to the hospital daily and get blood work checking 3 main things:
NORMAL
WBC 4.5-10.5 (white blood count)
HGB 12.0-16.0 (hemoglobin)
PLT 150-400 (platelets)
Monday June 22
WBC 3.6
HGB 11.2
PLT 104
Tuesday June 23
WBC 5.3
HGB 10.6
PLT 136
Wednesday June 24
WBC 3.0
HGB 10.3
PLT 162
Thursday June 25
WBC 1.3
HBG 9.6
PLT 160
Friday June 26
WBC 1.1
HGB 9.7
PLT 165
Saturday June 27
WBC 0.6
HGB 9.9
PLT 156
So the whole idea is to bring my white blood counts to below "zero".....that means that all of the old stuff is gone and all of the new stuff can begin to take over, making new clean, myeloma free cells.
They are keeping me way ahead of the game with vomiting and nausea, I may actually make it though without a hitch on that. I do get fluids daily to make sure that I stay hydrated. I am going to take it easy this weekend! Love to all of you! We will catch on Monday or Tuesday.
