My bone marrow biopsy was supposed to be yesterday, but after my lab draw, my white count was too low, and Dr. Te wanted me to wait until Thursday the 23rd to do it. Just when I thought I was mentally prepared, now I've had think about it longer. :) I went and got a copy of my labs from Monday the 20th and they were quite surprising. Every count, from white to red to neutrophils is lower than I have ever had them, and that is not good. If you were to just look at the numbers on the paper, I would think I would be in the hospital in a neutropenic room. I guess I should be feeling good that I am still walking around and haven't caught any infection. I really have felt pretty good. Tired and weak, but that is my norm. So, the biopsy tomorrow, then labs drawn early Monday followed by a visit with Dr. Te. At that time, he should have the preliminary results back from the biopsy. That will tell him if I need another round of chemo or not. If so, I am scheduled for Monday, Tues, and Wed of next week. But with my white count and neutrophil count so low, I don't know if I can do it. So just more waiting to see what will happen. Living in cancer limbo gets a little old. I am ready to start getting my life back and moving forward. Hopefully it will be soon.
