WBC Creeping Down...

I'm still on vacation from chemo--at least until I see the doc again on Monday. However, my WBC is starting to descend a little. It's been almost 6 weeks since that last Neulasta shot. Of course, those little whilte cells got quite a work out fending off the colds/flus and other infectious agents I was exposed to in Peoria before Christmas, so I can't really complain.

Here are my counts for the day:
WBC 3.0 (neutriphils 1.0)
HgB 13
Platelets 191

I'm hoping to continue on vacation or on something less toxic than the chemo, but that remains to be seen. The nodes under my left arm have been particularly bothersome in the past couple of days. Last night I broke down and took my first real pain pill in months. Tylenol just didn't do it. But I've been lugging heavy suitcases, bags of presents and groceries, as well as doing a lot of driving, so that may have aggravated them. I'm giving those pesky nodes a vacation by doing next to nothing today. Maybe I'll repeat that tomorrow.
