Friday's Consultancy

We met with Mum's Consultant again on Friday for the mid-point between cycles. They did another blood test as follows:

Haemoglobin 11.5 (previous 12.6)
Whites 0.4 (previous 11.5)
Platelets 188 (previous 308)
Neutrophils 0.1 (previous 8.5)

So you can see a marked drop in the count. This is predictable at the mid-way point between cycles and is why Mum becomes at risk of infection. They have prescribed more G-CSF injections to get the blood count back up.

The good news however is that all the lumps have gone and even have two Chemo cycles, Mum has obviously responded well.
