As you know I was diagnosed with Follicular Lymphoma in April and underwent several months of Chemo for that and I am currently on a maintenance plan.
Monday I went in to the doctors office for routine blood work prior to my treatment. They always check things prior to treatment.. my liver, kidneys, thyroid, white blood cells and platelets to be sure there is nothing going on that would cause them to postpone treatment. They had some difficulty finding a good vein, I unfortunately had three nurses try and three different pokes, but they were able to find a good one in my hand.
Tuesday I see my doctor prior to treatment to go over everything. All my test looked great, except my white blood cells which is normal for me and normal for the treatment I am receiving. My dr just wants to monitor that and as long as I’m not getting sick or lots of colds she just doesn’t want to throw medicine at it.. Wo we will continue to watch it. All my other test she said I could not have better results if I tried. So I did my treatment and I go back in 8 weeks for blood work and treatment.
Just wanted to keep you updated.. I am feeling GREAT and doing really well!! Again I want to thank everyone for their support and encouragement, y’all ROCK!!!
