Neutropenia again
Cycle 11, Day 15
Cycles are two weeks. Something isn't right. And that thing is my immune system. It's too weak to safely take another round of chemo right now, so my oncologist gave me a week off. Today is the longest I've been off it since September 15th.
This isn't entirely unprecedented, after cycle 6 I needed to get a shot to boost my neutrophil count. But it is frustrating, this was to be the last of my second round of chemo, I was supposed to get a CT scan to learn how the treatment has been going (rescheduled until the following week).

James Petrosky: I'm doing well, taking extra precautions and keeping to myself. And honestly a bit of a break is nice, chemotherapy is no picnic.
