Today's counts

TWC - 4.4
HgB -  10.5
Platelets - 65
ANC - 1800


This is the lowest the platelets have been at 1 week post chemo. I'm calling to day to see about scheduling a transfusion for Monday. With platelets this low I'm wondering if she'll need 3 platelets transfusions this month. Last month at this point her ANC was 2700 and one week later it was down to 320 (could be an interesting month regarding immunity). The only reason her ANC is as high as it is right now is because of the Neulasta injection I gave her 36 hours post chemo. Remember it was low going into chemo this time. Her HgB is better than last month and her total white count is about the same.
