Had more blood work done today...and met with the oncologist. Apparently the bacteria fighting part of my white blood cells is really low (.43). It needs to be at least 1.5 for me to be able to have my next chemo treatment on Friday 9/25. Doctor put me on an antibiotic to help boost the level up.
And what do you do when your bacteria fighting levels are low? You go camping! Yes..you head out to the wilderness where there are all sorts of things that can infect you! Well...at least that's what Jim and I are doing this weekend. We are taking the white water rafting trip we had to postpone because of the first chemo session. It should be a lot of fun ..in spite of the bacteria infection risks.
