Needed, Neutrophils.

My counts have actually been pretty good for a leukemia patient, but sadly I've been down since last Friday. I tried to use the weekend to recover but it looks like whatever I've got has reared its ugly head again.

I am home from work this afternoon so I can rest up. I feel like I have enough fighter cells (neutrophils) to keep any illness from really taking me out, but not enough to finish it off so things tend to hang on a long time.

I am going to the oncologist on Thursday just to make sure there's nothing else going on that we're missing. It's probably nothing more than a virus but I've learned to expect the unexpected and not ignore my body.
