My blood is back from the vampires. I haven’t had any run for two months now, so that was a change for me. I wasn’t having any test fears (Scanxiety) that a person can sometimes get, but I have been wondering how my numbers are looking.
I was especially wondering if my m band was a one month wonder or if I was going to sustain things, even though I cut out one of the maintenance chemos. I’ve been feeling pretty good, so my guess was that it’s still zero, and it is.
My reds (red blood cells) are still challenged. I was expecting them to get a boost since I dropped the cytoxan, but that wasn’t the case. I wouldn’t want things to get too easy, it’s best to be short on oxygen for a challenge 😜. Although my mcv is at the top, which means my red blood cells are large, so there can be fewer of them.
They also ran a blood test to check out my heart, which I was happy about since it’s possible carfilzomib can damage the heart. I had been wondering if anyone was monitoring things because I hadn’t seen any evidence of it so far. Thankfully, it tested normal.
Anyhow, here are the numbers:
