Home from the hospital..
I'm home from the hospital.. I go monday to see my oncologist to check my blood counts and cyclosporine level. I guess its normal for your blood counts to drop quickly when doing the treatment my blood work today before I went home showed my Hgb went up from 7.7 to 7.9, Wbc dropped to 4.0 and Platlets went down to 108. The nurses are saying that might not be accurate it could be diluted from the horse serum because I've been getting a lot of fluids the horse serum came in this big bag! and I got for 4 days.
I was wondering is it normal to feel tired from being on cyclosporine? I just feel run down after the treatment and being on the medicine I hope i start feeling better.. I also might need a transfusion next week if my Hgb is still low.
