Neutrophils up to 0.24 and platelets up to 134. It's still very very low but not quite as critical as it was when under 0.2. Some scales even suggest 0.2-0.5 are only moderately neutropenic which is good. They still have no idea what is working or why but until she hits 0.5 they are going to keep her on all of the prophylactic drugs in case. I think she is on a cocktail of 8 different things, some taken with food, some without, some not within 2 hours of drinking milk, it's hard to fit them all in in a day. She is lucky that so far the only real side effects are headaches. She has also managed to claw back the weight she lost. At one stage she was under 90 lbs and really struggling to gain anything. I think she is closer to a much healthier 105 lbs now.

Thanks for everyone's support through this. It's nice to be able to write down my thoughts as a coping mechanism.
