WBC Update

I had shots to boost my white blood cell count on Saturday, Monday and Tuesday. Tuesday before the shot they took blood and ran my blood count to see how well the shots worked.

I have to tell you, the drugs they have are miraculous. My WBC was 10.2-- ABOVE normal. In a matter of a few days it had gone from 2.5 to 10 plus. I did get some pain in my bones -- the small of my back and spine in particular -- but nothing much. I am also over my cold. I took an antibiotic for three days last week and with the shots -- wa la -- I am cured. I have to say Dr. Lunin is doing a good job keeping me regulated. I feel like a horse being preped for a race.

Tomorrow I have my 5th chemo treatment in the consolidation round. So far so good. I have 16 treatments in the program -- so 12 to go. I can only pray that things continue as they have.
