Counts down

My blood counts were again slightly down after last week's dose of Navelbine, so on Tuesday I had a shot of Neulasta to bring up my white cell count. So far I continue to have a fair amount of energy. Today I walked Bobka the dog for almost the full two mile long walk (cut short by only two blocks). Not to mention the afternoon's jaunt along West Seattle Junction. And tonight's synagogue meeting and choir rehearsal.

This week I have yet to experience side effects from either the chemo or the Neulasta. The word remains out on how effective this chemo is; more on that next week. Please continue to keep your collective "fingers" crossed for highly effective, very tolerable and minimal side effects.
