Well Last night finally hit 38 degrees C... (100.3)

This caused the National Guard to be called out... Blood tests, urine, etc...

They skipped the chest x-ray (to rule out Pneumonia) since lungs sounded clear...

Probably Neutropenic fever...

WBC counts are still 0 or <.01...

PLT's went from 14 to 9 then 1st set of PLT's, two days later at 5, got second set of PLT's, no adverse bleeding at these low levels...

Mouth on fire, can only manage 2-3 choc milks per day, now on IV nutrition...

Other than the above, generally comfortable...

Hanging in strong...

Best to all and God Bless...
