I was finally discharged Thursday at 5pm, after tests that morning showed I had the white blood counts 90% higher than ordinary mortals, thanks the Neulasta-stimulated stem cells finally kicking into high gear. I could be a superhero without a mask, but would have to avoid fistfights as my platelets we're still half normal.
Next time I think the goal will be to get my neulasta shot earlier so that its spike in production more closely matches in time the nadir at which the chemo has wiped out the old crop.
