November 10, 2013.. I continue to have a problem with low blood pressure so I received another liter of saline today by iv. The APN said that she wants to keep my hemoglobin at or above 8.5 so when it goes below 8.5, I will need to receive more blood as I did yesterday. I continue to get the two Neupogen injections each day.

I failed to mention one of the things the doctors said at the question and answer session that I posted about earlier. They said in earlier years they were seeing myeloma patients aged 65 years and older but now they are seeing much younger patients some even in their 20's.

I am looking forward to all my blood counts bottoming out and starting to rise again. I hope that will be soon. I am staying away from people except when I am at the hospital and then I wear a high filtration mask. I have the fear that I will catch something before I get my immunity back.

My white blood cell count today was 0.14, hemoglobin-9.1, platelets-67.
