And the first visit to Guy’s of the New Year – and I’m sure it won’t be the last!<\/p>\n
However it was really good news on the blood counts, the GCSF has done its stuff and the neutrophils were up, as were the platelets. I am still anaemic at 9.5Hb, but I am certainly feeling stronger than I was last Thursday.<\/p>\n
So with that in mind, it looks as of I am all set for the next cycle of chemo to start it all off again! I was expecting to get the chemo this Thursday, but just after I arrived home, I had a ‘phonecall from Debbie on the Day Unit saying that it should be a 21 day cycle, which means I should start on Monday. However Dr Kazmi did mention that this week would be good (and I echo that – hit it hard and fast – don’t give the little b******s get a chance to regroup) but they are going to check and give me a call later today or tomorrow! I suppose a couple of days doesn’t make that much difference, and if I am a bit stronger…<\/p>\n
And finally, just as I thought I might escape that particular side effect, I noticed my hair starting to fall out this morning! Oh well, woolly hat to the rescue!<\/p>\n
