Went in for blood work today the hemoglobin was 9.9 and the platelets were 26,000. The platelets went up another thousand and that is a very good thing. Should keep the hemoglobin at 10.00 or above but felt 9.9 was close enough so will not be getting blood this week. All I have to do is give myself three Neupogen shots because the white blood count was still too low. I am pretty excited anytime I do not have to spend the day in the hospital.
