Today's Dr. visit.

Hi everyone. Today my blood counts are up again, in the normal range - except my red counts which are still very slowly improving. The good news is my white count and platelet count are both very high and have recovered on their own. I am still rather fatigued, but feel better today than yesterday. We are still schedule round 3 of chemo starting next Monday (the 8th). The nutritionist at the hospital last week gave me a lot of useful paperwork to schedule and prepare meals that expose the least risk when my body is vulnerable to infection (after chemo). So, I am going to work on a meal plan this week that will ready for when I come home after next week's chemo. Diet and drinking lots of water play a big role in not getting sick - and I didn't drink enough water last time. I hope this will help, because the past two weeks really were very difficult. But I am starting clean again now and I am ready for the next round!
