saw doc today.... was created by server
Of course the first thing I asked him was why my CBC's had so many Highs and Lows. He said it was nothing to worry about, it was all normal. Ok then.....I feel better right?! My platelet count on Friday was 288. I'm guessing that the Rituxan is working since I haven't had an NPlate shot in 2 weeks. Wouldn't it be great if I were in remission?!! I asked about the scars from where they put the port in because they have been bothering me. Sometimes I get sharp pains and they constantly itch. It's not anything I can't handle though. He said something about excessive scar tissue and they may have to open it up again! UGH! How does that make sense? I dunno, but for now we're going to leave it alone with the hopes that the only reason they would have to open it up again is to remove the port! Oh, and I have a UTI. Yippee!
My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Great news on the counts!

As for the CBC - if the doc isn't worried, you shouldn't be either. Mine are never all in normal range.
