Luke had his counts check today and again failed. ANC dropped to 300 from around 700 hundred last week. He needs to have a minimum of 750 before they will start chemo again. Platelets dropped to around 60 from 70 last week (normal there is 140). Hemoglobin is low at around 7.
Luke was again assured response is typical for the start of maintenance. His blood did show a lot of immature white cells which will need to mature to kick up the ANC.
Luke's energy level is not great but he is not complaining about feeling bad.
That's the latest and greatest. Hopefully Luke will devote more time to studying this week and pass next weeks exam. With recieving a passing grade he can restart the chemo and get on with getting the right dose figured out.
