On Friday I went back to Roswell Park for another appointment. I lined up at Phlebotomy for blood to be drawn and then found that they had no orders for me. I went over to the Hematology clinic and the nurse there had to draw up the orders and send me back to Phlebotomy. I'm starting to know the routine well enough that I was pretty sure they would have to draw blood to test to see if I needed a blood transfusion (I didn't).
I did have an injection of Neulasta to help my white blood cells grow, but I am not neutropenic (dangerously low neutrophil count) and that is good news as far as I am concerned. I have two more appointments in the next two weeks to check my blood counts and then I go for another CT Scan of my lymph nodes. Hopefully that will tell us for sure if the chemo is working.
I was feeling pretty good until the Neulasta injection. Since then I have had some pain in my chest area and have been more fatigued than has been typical. It fits with the side effects of the Neulasta.
