Bloodwork

----- Original Message -----

Talked to the oncologist yesterday about Karen's white blood cell count. They were about where he expected. Indeed the "c" meant critical, primarily for a normal, healthy person like the rest of us. If we show up with a blood test like that off the street, they would be very concerned. With chemo, not so much. It would have to be a lot lower still for her not to get an injection.

He anticipates that the booster shot she got the day after (Neulasta) will kick in after 10 days, so around Friday. When she goes in on Monday, he expects her white count to be 'High."

In the mean time, he told us to be cautious so as not to pick up any bugs to which she is susceptible. No food out, no malls, no grocery stores, limit visitors.

Not sure if this ends up being the routine, on week/off week, but I guess we'll find out as we go along.
