November 22, 2013.. My white cell count today was 4.96, hemoglobin-8.2, platelets-85, and HPC-0. I have no idea why it dropped back to 0 after being 2 yesterday. The HPC count is a predictor of how many stem cells can be collected. 

We were at the hospital about 6 hours today. I got 600 mcg Neupogen in the morning and 900 mcg in the evening injection. 

I failed to mention yesterday I got a liter of saline and today I got a unit of blood due to the low hemoglobin. 

The APN told me the flu shot I had gotten back home would not do me any good. She said the chemo had eliminated the immunity my body had developed against the flu. She said I would need to take Tamiflu all during the flu season. I have gotten a prescription filled for one month but I have not started to take it yet.

I have been able to again go into stores with Reta so now I can help her get groceries. I will continue to take precautions. I sure don't want to pick up a cold or anything since that could affect my stem cell collection.
