Friday, November 14, 2008

I know it has been a while since I posted, but no news is usually good is. Yes I said usually. Dr. Solberg's nurse called today from Mayo Clinic regarding this weeks blood work. Fred's white blood cell count is up to 11,400. It has not been this high since before he started chemotherapy so we are a little surprised. The doctor wants follow up blood work on Tuesday.

His red blood cell count is 3.95 (low but ok)
Hemoglobin: 14.6 (good)
Platelets: 173,000 (good)
His neutrophils are high
His lymphocytes are low
His eosinophils are 0 (low, normal 15-500)

Let's hope next weeks numbers are better.

Fred has been feeling good, but is tired today.
