"Counts" Roller Coaster

Well, once again, my counts are down. My white and red blood counts are low, but they've been steady over the past several weeks. My platelets have dropped significantly to 87 (they had been in the 120s up until now) and my neutrophiles are once again below 1. Last week they were at 1.07, which was barely safe, but they did the full chemo treatment and apparently knocked my neutrophiles down even further. As a result, they (once again) held part of my treatment wednesday, making this the 3rd time in the past 2 months. I received the investigational drug, but they did not give me the Temsirolimus. Next week, I will meet with the doctor before I receive treatment to make sure my counts are safe. If they are, they will once again lower the dosage of the Temsirolimus before they give it to me. In the meantime, I am once again receiving the 3 day shot of Neupogen to increase my neutrophiles. Hopefully my doctor can figure out a dose he can safely give me without causing my counts to drop and cancel treatments!! I will keep everyone posted when I see the doctor next wednesday.
