My numbers qualify me to go home! Yaay!
It is interesting, though to see how the neupogen was "juicing" my numbers. Below are Saturday and now Sunday numbers on the key blood measures, and you'll see a number of things.
Saturday | Sunday
ANC = 2990 | 2130 (vs 1000 needed to go home)
WBC = 3.69 | 3.0 (vs 4.5 needed to rate low-end-of-normal)
HGB = 8.9 | 8.9 ( stable on its own to grow farther from the transfusion limit of 7)
PLT = 38 | 34 ( having a good cushion to grow farther from the transfusion limit of 10)
ANC and WBC have retreated because they were the most-boosted by the neupogen (white-blood-boosting) injections that I'd been getting from roughly Day 6 to Day 11. The ANC and WBC are expected to shrink back (as the stimulus is withdrawn) before showing that I'm building up naturally.
