Even though my neutrophils have decreased a little … This Is A Very Good Day! Here’s today’s neutrophil situation: And here’s the situation for some of my other blood cells: Some of these blood cells are a bit low, and that can make me a bit weak and/or tired.

Well, things are definitely improving – but not as fast as I’d hoped. Here’s today’s Neutrophil graph: The problem right now, is lack of energy, and that’s probably because my Haemoglobin is a bit low at 81. The healthy range is 130 to 175 gms/litre. Another important marker CRP (C-reactive protein) indicates level of infection.… Continue reading DAY 22

I’ve been… Continue reading DAY 17

A nurse woke me at 2am for ‘Obs’ (BP, temperature etc), and everything was fine. After that I set off for the loo, and suddenly realised “I feel ok! I feel like a proper human being! Everything’s working. This is wonderful!! So back to bed, feeling excited. But it didn’t last, and by 4am, I… Continue reading DAY 16
