Glad to hear the chemo is working. Don't worry too much about the blood counts. There's a wide gap between "low" and "we need to do something about it".

This is all good. One more to go. Don't let the low blood counts worry you. Stay hydrated and keep moving and eating.

Are you getting the neulasta device after each chemo? I found this kept my white blood cells counts way up there and probably prevented a bunch of illnesses during chemo.
