How was your blood count?

Oh by goodness, I am so late in posting sorry. My white blood count is still ok, said the doc. She will still have me on the same Ibrance dosage and Femara for now. I noticed that my appetite has increased since beginning treatment. Has anyone else experienced this? In my case, it is a good thing, because I was underweight but now am putting on weight. For the week I am off Ibrance, I feel pretty good not as tired as usual. How is everyone doing?

Glad to hear you are okay. I know I get worried about my counts sometimes but then it pulls back up a little. I'm feeling okay. Wish putting on weight was a problem for me. I need to take off a few myself!!!

I had to have back surgery July 28. It was four and half hours long. They repaired a fracture, removed a tumor among other things. I checked into the hospital at 112 pounds. After the surgery, I lost 6 pounds. After radiation treatment, I lost more weighing in at 101. The radiation was directed at my spine, near the stomach area, it made me sick. Doc said you lost ten percent of your body weight. You need to gain weight, I am sending you to a nutritionist. She did, I forced myself to eat more, eat well, balanced meals. Now I am back up to 112 which is good.
