Blood Work and Chemo #2 Followup

Short Version:
My blood work at the mid point between treatments was well within normal range. Dr. thinks everything is going well.

Long Version:
That is much better than where it was at the first midpoint.  I asked for copies of the lab results and  this is a summary of the white count... the one they are most concerned about.
The Normal Range is 4.0 - 11.0

9/14    1.3   (the first midpoint when white count will be the lowest)
9/25    6.5   (2nd treatment day)
10/5    11.6  ( I guess that shot they gave me worked!  This is quite an improvement!)

The lab report has many other things it measures, which problably tells somebody something... but I don't get it.  At this point the white blood cells are what I am most concerned about, because those are the ones that fight infection.  There are many viruses going around and it is comforting to know I have fighters ready to go!

I mentioned to the Dr that I was very tired.  He suggested taking Vitamin E and a dietary supplement  "GlutaSolve"  He indicated it was spendy.  It is available at Home Medical.  Apparently it is  high is glutamin, which is an amino acid that good for GI health.   I have started doing the vitamin E... but not sure if I will to the Glutasolve.  Both are up to my discretion. 

I have felt increasingly better each day and am able to do more.  Yesterday and today I have been able to do a little bit of gardening and housework.  I went to Curves on Monday, and should go today... but the day's projects made the day slip away and now I think I will conserve energy for Pioneer Clubs and Choir this evening.

I worked outside for a little while today with a bare head.  It felt great to be natural.... absorb some sun on my scary white head.   I promise you all I will not over do it. :)
