The most exciting thing about today was the loose watery stools that I had all day. In total I had 4 stools and the nurse gets concerned after 5-6 so I'm good for now.
Annoying? -Yes.
Getting my down? -No
My WBC's dropped to 0.2 today. They didn't bother doing a differential because the white cells were so rare. I'm sure my ANC is below 300.
This evening my temp has crept up to 99.0 and my appetite has fallen to about 10%. I keep hydrated and active but I'm just not hungry. The nurse said this is completely natural and expected, I'll probably take this opportunity to loose a few of those post chemo pounds (Dont tell my nurse) Anyway, the nurse said a neutropenic fever in not uncommon and well treated if I develop one. For now the game plan is to hydrate like mad and eat what I can. Sounds like the Army...
