Yesterday was my weekly check up; white blood cell count was 2.3, neutrophils 0.2 and my hemoblobin is 9.8. So, Lukine injections continue and I started on a weekly injection of Procrit to bring up the red blood cell count. I also had the weekly B-12 injection and since the cells should stop dying off by Thursday I hope to have a big bounce in my energy level by the weekend.
I did get the results of the other tumor marker test, the CEA showed that after the completition of the second infusion the tumor markers dropped to 14.3 (normal is 0.0 - 5.0). I am very encouraged and hopeful that the CT scan I will have next week will indicate positive results as well.
Today I was particularly exhausted so I have no inspirational thoughts for the day; everything is ok and that's good enough for today. Thanks for checking in on me and an extra thank you to my friends that I worship with for bringing dinner twice a week.
