Carolin's New Hobby

The lovely summer of 2004 came to an abrupt end when Carolin was diagnosed with cancer. What follows are the random thoughts and experiences of the Camerons as Carolin fights back.

Grounded

Carolin had a blood test when they were working on why her tongue was misbehaving. Tonight at 8PM the same group called and said they wanted to see her immediately. Unless you're talking to a lottery sales agent, such haste is not a good thing. We hustled on over.

The doctor said that Carolin's white blood count level was "one". It is suppose to be between 4 and 11. Another number on the doctor's blood test sheet(neutrophils) was suppose to be between 2 and 3.5. Carolin's value was 0.1 - or one twentieth of the minimum. If she travelled, she could easily get sick. If she got sick she would likely get very sick. After talking to the first doctor, we called an oncologist for his opinion. It was more definite. Don't fly.

So 8 hours before we are suppose to leave, we had to cancel. It's a big disappointment.
