2nd Week Radiation Done!

Another 5 radiation treatments completed! Still feeling fine with no skin irritations or tired side effects! Yeah! So far, so good!

I did learn this week that my white blood cell count is still on the low side. This worried me for about a day - until I went back to Pluta the next day and talked to my chemo nurse. I told her my count (2.5) and she thought that was not very low. She also said - it takes a while to get the white cells back up from all the chemo. And that radiation can also affect the white cell counts. So - my white cells aren't as high as a person who has not had chemo, but they are not any where near as low as when I was on chemo. Nothing to worry about. Just the normal process, I guess!
