Vitals: 95/60, heart rate 82, respiratory 18, weight 56.3, temperature 97.8 F.
Blood work: WBC 3.9 (normal is 4.8-10.8), RBC 3.21 (4.2-5.4), HCT 29.0 (38.0-48.0), Plat 139 (150-450), ANC 2.52 (1.70-8.90) CRE 1.3
No problems. My PA, Octavia, says I look amazing and she will tell Dr. Morris. Well ok then.
I ran into another patient I knew from last year. We both were checked in at the special Blood and Marrow Transplant Unit at Northside Hospital. We both had transplants. My 6 month check showed no sign of cancer. Hers did. Today she has an appointment with Dr. Morris to discuss "plan B" options.
She also tells me she ran into the husband of another patient we knew. This patient caught a virus and was in intensive care. She has heard no other news and doesn't know if she survived.
There was another lady in the lobby who came for a check up. She is getting admitted today due to GVHD.
I am in touch with a lady whose husband had a transplant. He has had many complications. I think he was also admitted to the hospital with GVHD.
Lastly, I got another vaccination today. While I was in the waiting room I ran into a lady I have known for many years. She has been fighting uterine cancer for 5 years. She gets chemotherapy infusion every 28 days. Her tumors aren't growing, but aren't gone either. She is a fighter with an amazing perspective. She is just who I needed to see to cap off the visit.
So far I am one lucky girl. I feel 100% normal now. Let's hope that keeps up. We still have some work to do on my numbers. Only time will tell.
Next visit August 4th at 1245 for a monthly blood check.
