Dr. Vivian was thrilled to show me lab work. She said she was pretty sure I was going to be happy with it, and I AM!! My white count is a mere 6, that's right folks, NORMAL. This drug is working so fast.
Now a white blood cell count is not the end result we are looking for, but it is a good indicator that the Sprycel is working. I can back off the weekly blood draws and go to two weeks then four weeks apart.
Yay!!
She explained that I still have millions of cancer cells floating around, they are just not making new ones, and the old ones should be dying off. But then there was a very detailed discussion of stem cells and phosphates and enzymes that I tried to follow....and now I need to do more research to understand what she was talking about.
But boy am I happy. I even had some energy today and went to work for a couple of hours. Then I have been grooming the doggie a bit. And found some fleas..........so an email to my wonderful Aunt Susan is in order......
Hugs!
Flea killing meds are on the way!
