We went to see Dr. Jeong Friday (Sept. 23). Mom's blood work shows her white blood cells and platelets dropped a little. At this point, they should go up, so we were concerned. Dr. Jeong says "It's ok. Looking month to month, it's on an upward trend." And he's right, compared to 1 month ago, her numbers are slightly up, but compared to 2 weeks ago, they fell.
The next bone marrow test will be early November, and she will start back on the chemo pills November 15 and take them for 15 days. Between now and then she will have her blood checked and hopefully get some more strength back.
