Day -5

I had my third dose of chemotherapy and still feel no effects and while it was predicted, it still seems strange to me. It turns out I was not neutropenic today, but I didn’t find out until 5:30 PM when several visitors had come and gone already and didn’t realize they didn’t have to wear masks. WBC – 2.4, Hgb – 10.4, Plt – 51, ANC – 1.6. The last count (absolute neutrophil count) has to be .5 for me to be considered not neutropenic, and it could be back below that tomorrow. I actually could have hugged more of my visitors if I had known.

I changed rooms today to one that is bigger and feels better, but since there isn’t much more news to report, I’ll just sign off now and not bore you with ramblings.

Love,
