- Bloodwork and appointment with Dr. S (hematologist) in the CAM building at Big Barnes
I feel like I did learn a few new things today and it's always good to get a better understanding of things... however Dr. S does not have a magical solution for my neutropenia (low neutrophil counts.) She did rule out a number of things, having gone through my medical history very thoroughly, but she feels confident that it is chemo-induced neutropenia. Dr. S mentioned that lowering my irinotecan dosage or removing the 5-FU from my protocol could help to keep us on a more regular chemotherapy schedule, but that's really something that she'll need to discuss with Dr. T.
The good news is that my absolute neutrophil count is back in the normal range this week and if I hadn't had surgery on Wednesday, we would have been able to have treatment.
