WBC nosedive

Change of plans. Instead of getting my chemo today, my WBC had dropped too low (or at least the neutriphils did) and they sent me home. Chemo is rescheduled for next Thurs.

Speculation is that the drop might be tied to this sinus infection I've been fighting. I was on Zithromax for 5 days and that seems to have cleared the infection part of it, but I still have some congestion--allergy or virus?? Who knows. The other theory is that my WBC bounded up too fast this time with the Neulasta, and so it got pushed out of my system before the 3 weeks was up.

Whatever... I have a week's respite from the dreaded prednisone. Of course that means I will be on prednisone next weekend instead of this weekend, and I've been invited to two costume parties that Saturday. Hmmmmm... Halloween parties in the Predni-Zone. Could be interesting, I suppose. I'll need a keeper, though. :-)

Actually my counts were pretty good except for the neutriphils. I'm really glad that my platelets stayed up in the triple digits. Counts today were:
WBC 2.3 (but neutriphils down to 0.5 -- no salads for me)
HgB 11.4
platelets 103

So I guess I really can't complain, although I will if I have to get
the masks out again! And it better not be too long til I can have my
fresh foods. Maybe I should go in on Monday to get my counts checked
again. Or not. I suppose I could just be patient, as long as I'm
feeling okay. Drat.
