Well, had my pre chemo visit today, and bloods, in the docs words, are "wonderfully normal". So good to hear the doc say I have had a very good start. My bloods are now as follows
WBC. 4.8
Neutrophils. 2
Platelets. 109
Heamoglobin. 139
Lymphocyte. 2.3
I know it's very very early days, but it has given me a boost, and I don't feel so apprehensive about Wednesday and the second cycle. I'm sure everyone understands the aprehension and understands that, even though you try not to, thinking about it, and the constant what if, is never far from your thoughts. Not what if I didn't have this, but, what if my bloods are poor what if I have further symptoms etc. I'm very lucky so far and I hope everyone else going through treatment just now or are about to commence have as good a response as I have so far.
Now the real battle begins though, get this out of my bone marrow. We all know we can't be cured but the better response to treatment gives the better remission which is what we all are hoping for.
Take care and good luck everyone.
Billy
