Today I had my last CBC before going in for the harvest on Monday morning. I feel ok, but my counts are all lower than ever.
| Result | Unit | Ref range | |
| WBC | 0.4 | x10^3/uL | 4.5 – 10.5 |
| Hgb | 9.4 | g/dL | 11.0 – 18.0 |
| Plt | 63.0 | x10^3/uL | 150 – 450 |
| RBC | 3.46 | x10^6/uL | 4.00 – 6.00 |
Cytoxan is powerful stuff, eh?
I took the staff at my oncologist’s office some treats today. They’ve been so nice that I wanted to reward them somehow. The treats are not on the neutropenic diet though, so I was unable to sample. :( Oh well, if all goes as planned, there will be plenty of time for that later on.
Ms. Morgan,
I’ve been meaning to leave a comment for 3 years. My precious father had MM, dx in June 2002. I read (previoulsy) your blog often for information and support. I felt you were a friend even though you never knew me. I wanted to say thank you for everything and I am excited for your new treatments. I don’t know why I am doing this now..but peace to you and thanks for all you do.
Sincerely,
Sherye
Good luck on your treatments. Attitude is everything. My husband was diagnosed in 1999 with Multiple Myeloma. He had radiation, chemo and a autologus stem cell transplant in 2001. He was 35 when he was diagnosed. He is doing great and no signs of myeloma since. He was treated at H Lee Moffitt Center in Tampa Florida. They were wonderful I hope you get the best of care also.

Hi Beth,
Good luck and hoping for a massive collection for you in one shot.

What’s a neutropenic diet?
Good luck, Beth! I know you’ll come through this just fine. You are constantly in our thoughts.
