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.

More cold symptoms

Well my throat was very sore yesterday and last night. It feels better this morning but now the cold moved into my head. The doctor called me last night and said that my counts are very low. (I expected that). My white count was 2.9 (range is 4.0-11.0) and my neutrophils (new white cells) was 0.5 (range is 2.0-9.0). I need to have another count done on Saturday to make sure that they are rising. If not, that could mean that I am bone marrow supressed. I don't know what happens if that is the case. I don't think it is. I just think I have a cold at a bad time.

So while Jessica is at school today I will take things easy and maybe have a nap. I had a very restless sleep last night. My eyes are still tearing and I am still very bloated from the steriods. Yuck!! I haven't been to the gym or walking since Monday and that is making me feel guilty. My cold better be gone by Monday.

So that is it for news here.

Have a good weekend.

Love Carolin

    Hi Carolin,
    A virus can definitely suppress your white count, and of course with a low white count, a virus can invade more easily.

    Trust that it will run its course quickly and that you will be feeling better soon.
