My white count went from .06 yesterday to .12 today. Maybe now it will continue to increase.
The oncologist that is seeing Dr. Van Rhee's patients stopped by today and was very pleased at how my myeloma markers have come down. He said this past treatment of chemo will probably work another two months. I hope he is right.
I continue to have digestive tract issues from the chemo. I have no idea how long that's going to last. Today I saw my first sign that my hair is starting to come out. I will probably cut it all off tomorrow. I have not felt as well today as I have the past several days. It could be because of sleep they came in at 3:45 this morning to draw the blood. They have not been doing it that early before.
I hope everyone is having a nice day.

  1. Jerry, good to hear that the white count came up today. Hope you feel better tomorrow. I had my hair cut yesterday and told her to cut it short and she listened to me.ha I look like a chemo patient with hair just started to grow back in. But so much cooler with not much hair.
    Hope you get to come home in a couple of weeks, we are going to miss you two again at the meeting next Saturday, the 15th. Praying for you each day. Hugs, Darlene
