My white count today jumped to 2.76. My platelet count was 14 and that has been without adding additional platelets for 2 days now. I did not get a growth factor shot today since my white count had exceeded 2.0 so I expect that my platelets will now start to recover.
Today I talked with a fellow in the waiting room, before I went in for my infusion, and his wife has myeloma and they are from Newport News, Virginia. I was surprised to find out that he grew up in Kingsport and knew a lot about the area.
We both would like to say a big thank you to Crossroads Methodist Church in Kingsport for sending the nice care package they had put together. It is much appreciated and will be used.
