Sherrie was denied chemo again today. Her blood count was too low (1.3 total white count), and her infection fighters were especially low (0.4). So, she's going to get Neupogen shots for the next three days, and then try again with a CBC on Wednesday for Friday chemo.
She took it in stride, though she's disappointed. She really was hoping to be all done by the time school starts, but that doesn't look likely right now.
As the doctor said, it's much safer not to do chemo with such a low count, even if it pushes the schedule back.
