I know I have written about the fatigue but I am not sure that I have included the fact that for the past seven or eight weeks the fatigue has been so tremendous that I have been unable to drive. I have experienced with the sixth treatment less fatigue and last week the white blood cells had yet to fall low enough to require a Lukine injection - this is good as it means that my body is growing stronger. And today, I actually drove to and from CBCC for the weekly check up - woohoo!
Today the white blood cell count was 1.4 and the neutrophil count .3 - low enough that the Lukine injections were ordered for today and every other day until next Monday when the lab tests will be repeated. I have no explanation why with counts this low I am not more fatigued as I have been in the past - it just is better and for that I am grateful.
I did speak with the PA about the slight increase of the CA 15-3 tumor marker and was told that it is common to have some fluctuation. Because I make the choice, everyday is a good day and today was an especially good day.
