  • Some very very good news!!!!

    I called the doc on Friday to find out what my blood test on Thursday said.  But they were already gone  So they got back to me this morning.  Guess what?!?!?!

    My white counts are incredible, showing no drop at all.

    AND, my hemoglobin was "borderline anemic."  I said, "I'm always anemic, what does THAT mean, and she said, " 11.2."  ELEVEN POINT TWO!!!  3 weeks ago Wednesday, it was 8.1.  I'm making red cells on my own again!!!!!!  YAY!!!!!!

    Between 3 transfusions, an iron infusion, and 3 shots of Aranesp (#4 to follow on Thursday), my body has finally kicked into gear and appears to be making the red cells that we've been begging it to make.

    11.2.... Unbelievable
