Third out of the 4 toughest chemos are done. Not much for news.
Looking over her blood count history, we noticed Karen's white cells were at "critical" again. The printout we were handed last week marked it as "low," but was a different format than we normally received. Turns out it the overall number was identical to two weeks earlier. So we'll have to look carefully at next Monday's counts to see what her window for interaction looks like.
The doctor is not happy with her hemoglobin level, so she will get a weekly shot to help with that (Aranesp). They gave one today and she'll get one when she goes for blood counts next week, then each week until she's done. That could be causing the fatigue she feels the first weekend after chemo.
That's about it. Settling in to see how she does this time.
