D+92

Had my fifteenth outpatient visit to the hospital for eval and BMB/BMA...
It was done early due to scheduling conflicts, dr. is doing rounds for 2 weeks...

WBC's were at 6.2 this morning (4-11 K/mcL is Normal Range)....

ANC were 4.8 K/mcL today Normal Range is 1.5-8.8 K/mcL...

HGB's same at 12.1 and PLT's down slightly to 128...

Red Blood Cell (RBC) Count was 3.92 M/mcL (4.2-5.6 M/mcL is Normal Range)

Creatinine was unchanged at 1.2, Potassium 4.7 and sodium at 142...

ALT-Alanine aminotransferase up slightly to 38 Units/L (Normal Range is 5-37 Units/L) and determines Liver distress...

Feeling much better, walking 1-1.5 miles every other day, will be ramping that up quickly, as it has helped with my appetite, maybe start some push-ups again....

Not much more to report, will have immune testing done closer to D+100 (appointment is 2/11) and follow up with the doctor on Feb. 28th...

I'm very lucky that things are going so well, and hope to share my fortune through prayer...

God Bless, and best to all...
