Monday, October 6, 2008

Dr. Solberg was pleased with Fred's blood work today and so we started chemotherapy. Fred received 1,000 mg of Rituxan today. He is tired, but doing fine.

His bilirubin is back to normal and his blood work was:
white blood cell count: 4.0
red blood cell count: 3.43 (low but good)
hemoglobin: 12.7 (low but much better)
platelets: 158,000 (good)
glucose: 94 (good)

Tomorrow is the fludarabine and cytoxan. I will let you know how that goes.
