2nd chemo week delayed....

Renee was scheduled to start her second week of chemo, and we met with Dr. O to see how her blood levels looked. Renee's new white blood cell count was up to .6 (600), but they needed to be around 1.2 in order for her to be given chemo. We would delay this week, and check next Monday.

Renee's Igm (protein) level was down to 1602, praise the Lord. This is the indicator of the cancer, and the effectiveness of the treatment. When the chemo began, the level was 4055, with normal levels being between 40 to 230. If the treatment was not working, we would expect to see the IgM going higher.
