This morning i had my yearly physical with my primary care physician. i did really well, my general numbers are in the range they are supposed to be in. So except for the fact that i have cancer, i’m quite healthy!!
Well, except for a couple of things – When they took my temperature, it was 100.4. (This is the number that i am supposed to contact my oncologist office.) i asked if we could check it a couple more times. Last time i had a temperature, by the time i got to the oncology office, it was back down to 98.6. i didn’t want to waste anyone’s time. After taking my temp 3 more times, it was 100.3, 100.1, the back up to 100.4. So my pcp called my oncologist directly, and i went right out to Dr. A’s office.
Also during the physical with my pcp, there was also something funky going on with my eyes. i hadn’t noticed anything out of the ordinary, but then again my ordinary is pretty different than most. 🙂 My pcp also talked to my oncologist about that, since that it could just be a side effect of one of the chemos.
The blood test that they did right off the bat at the oncologist office showed my levels were lower than they were last week. Which means i’m continuing to lose white blood cells. This may be starting a pattern, as the first infusion had the same issue- the numbers kept going down through the second week, then they turned around to have decent numbers on the third monday. Hoping this is the same. i also have a couple of tests they want to do this week. Just checking out a couple of things.
My anc is .05, which is realllllly low. That means i need to stay away from others again, at least for the next couple of days. Wheee!!
Other than that, nothing new around here! ha ha. Let me know if you have any questions.
