Whooooohoooooo..... Back on the bi-weekly injections again. Well last time they were weekly, so this is still good, right? I believe so.
So, at the oncologist, my EOS are going back up : 900. Not horrible. High for normal people and although low ((for me)) they're still slowly rising again. 'normal' people are like under 400.
Next we have the WBC: it was up to 13000. Again, low for me but above 'normal'. Normal range is below 700. So not too bad.
Then we have potassium levels. Normal is around 5. Mine is waaayyy down. 3. So upped my potassium med. good, maybe I'll get some energy back!
Lastly we have some 3 letter word for some marker in my blood which is high and might possibly explain the swelling in my joints, weird pains and complete numbness in my monster feet. I was gonna write it all down but we were talking a lot and he was doing his best to explain everything to my feeble mind. I forgot to write it down! I was on it at the oncologist but spaced it at the rheumatologist. But he put me back on injections bi-weekly. They hurt like hell but they really help! I used to get horrendous headaches when I took it before. If they don't work after a month, then we'll move on to add methotrexate. Another oral chemo med.

Sometimes I feel like a damn lab rat....with great hair! Lol. I'm so glad it's growing back, curly as hell but it's mine at least. :). I hope it doesn't start to fall out again...

You know, when I worked at ASSets, doing case management for my folks/organizing treatment teams could be so damn difficult when there was more than 2-3 doctors on a team. I'm wayyyy past that. I've lost count. We joked today, me and my newest member, dr. B. he thought it was great when I shook his hand and said, 'welcome to the team...good luck!!!!'

Ok, so I'm gonna head home now and start my meds. I hope to god I feel better soon cuz I sure miss the gym with Sheila (& yes, Zen, u 2!) :))
Hopefully tomorrow..... I'll let ya know.
