Today Allen had an appointment to have his blood drawn. They want to look at his numbers to see how low different levels in his blood have dropped. The overall take-away: His numbers are GOOD! While they have dropped, the nurse explained that it is a positive sign. It shows the medicines they are giving him are attacking his body--namely the CANcer cells! His white blood cells are low (2.0 whereas normal range is 3.3-10.5), but he isn't neutropenic so that is AMAZING!
He felt good this weekend--a little tired, which is to be expected as he had chemo Monday and didn't miss a day of work all week! But, he ran and biked and had great workouts!
Looking forward to kicking CANcer's butt on Friday at chemo!
