more good news re: platelets up
What a wild ride! Two weeks ago, my original doctor told me to stop tx due to a low wbc: 1.4, low platelets: 33 and ANC of 500.
I didn't stop and saw another doc. I just got last Friday's results and my platelets are 46, wbc is 2.1 and my ANC is 900 AND that is before I started Neupogen!
I am so happy. It reinforces my decision to change doctors. It felt right and I think we have to follow our intuition. Its hard when you know something needs changing but you feel too sick to do anything.
Thanks to everyone on this forum for your support.

Birds in rehab? Is that like physical therapy or detox? What cold region are you in I can't remember. Like how you changed the spelling you crafty thing you!:)
Sounds like Hawaii, to me. I lived there for a while, swam with dolphins, turtles, and manta-rays.
I hope someday I can immerse myself in the salt water again without fear of my ascites swelling up.
No hawks yet today but a cool woodpecker scratching itself on the oak tree. And the turkey vultures are stretching thier silvery wings; beautiful birds in the air that look so ugly on the ground.

Friole, thanks for the info re. ANC./ On my labs they are called gran. My doc said danger zone is .5 I seem to be ranging from 1.0 to 1.6. They explaind to me that it is a % of the WBCs. But all I have to do is watch this number and don't have to do the math.
Orphandedhawk, info on my name. I live at about 1500 ft., about 1 mile from the ocean as the crow (or hawk flies). Our weather is influenced by the ocean. I would rather be in, on or near the water at all times. Rivers are good too) I used to be a salmon fisherwoman and live on a boat in the summer. That seems like a far away dream now. I love hearing your hawk stories. Thanks, Ocean

I am so silly. When OH was still hanging around yelling at us for dinner, I realised her call sounds like "hawwwk, hawwwwk". SO thats what I yell at them! When she first left, I thought I saw her, and ran to get a frozen quail. There I was like a nutcase shaking a dead frozen bird up to the sky yelling,"hawwk, hawwk".
The hawk flew off when we were weaning her and another hawk, maybe her mother?, chased her away. They are very territorial so it is unlikely she will show up right here. Maybe down the road?
We are in the migratory flyway, lots of birds, coming and going, flying through a Maxfield Parrish landscape.

You actually inspire me, being the same genotype, and clearing. Thanks so much for your help. ( hope my hubby's odd humor didn't put you off.)
