I believe most of the Leukemia is out of my blood, and on Friday we will probably sample bone marrow to see how we are doing in that area. I'm neutropenic and susceptable to infection. My blood levels are low. but I feel strangly fine. I wear a mask in the halls outside my room where I should be more, but I've been figuring out this blog the past 2 days. after we figure the "invitation' process out, I think we can speak freely, I hope. I'll be walking my laps first thing tomorrow.
I also got good news that it unlikely that the leukemia cells carry the "philedelphia chromosome" something which changes the direction of my treament. still, a small chance though. I'll have to wait a couple more days to find out.
I have a hearty appetite (a drug called marinol- helps that). my weight is up. good vitals, and few, if any, side effects.
I am feeling pretty good. I have a simple task: try to stay in shape while the drugs do their job. I can do that.
some drugs of the day...mostly antibacterials, antivirals, appetite enhancers, and stool softeners.
This is my Nurtritionist, Amelie. She keeps me away from fresh foods and stuff that might have bacteria. All highly processed for me since I could get sick so easily. ahhhhh....to be nuetropenic.
