Maybe burning the midnight oil last night wasn’t such a good idea. I’ve been playing catch up all day. But it was great to have a brain for a couple of hours yesterday evening. I’m carrying a lot of onboard fluid at the moment - my legs look like tree trunks, with podgy toes sticking out the bottom. A good excuse to sit with my feet up and snooze.
The Neutrofil count was up again to 0.90, and platelets continue to go up. Definitely the first green shoots of recovery. I was allowed ‘out’ and took a brief trip through the airlock across the corridor to have a peep at the room where Christine has been staying for the past two weeks. She has a fantastic roofscape view. The trees are nearly bare, three weeks of leaf fall since I last saw them.
Fantastic! I just did a literature search for the effects of chemo-induced neutropenia, and, interestingly, the most reported symptom seemed to be "fatigue", even in afebrile neutropenia.
ReplyDeleteSo those babies do more than just keep bugs at bay, as you've often noted.
Go babes!

They let you out! Heavens, whatever next? I like the numbers steadily climbing, we are cheering them on. We were thinking of you in sunny Barcelona, your card might get there at some point in the next 23 weeks, hopefully you'll be back here before it gets to you.
