Day 15 - It's all about the numbers.

Total WBC for yesterday was 2.4. That is very good. Neutrophils came in at 1.21. Platelets were up again at 33. Lymphocytes were .81. Dr. Lacy told us a lymphocyte count of .81 at day 15 corresponds to good prognosis and long remissions.

Here is the progression of WBC for comparison: Day 7 < .1; Day 12 = .6; Day 13 = .8; Day 14 = 1.5; Day 15 = 2.4.

Dr. Lacy ordered a 24 hour urine test so I am assuming they will tell me my IgG and M spike (if any) Thursday. She also discontinued the growth factor shots. She said WBC usually goes down a bit when the shots are discontinued.

More later...
