NADIR

Not sure what this stands for but it means when your blood count is at its lowest. I should be there somewhere around this time so I had a NADIR checkup today. They did blood work and all my counts were good. I actually have too many white blood cells (mostly babies from the Neulasta shot I received on Monday). They think I should sail right through to the next round in 2 weeks and should expect to continue to feel as I do right now (good) until then. I have lost some weight so I got the green light to pretty much eat what I want - but mostly protein. I am planning a trip to Jamba Juice today (it is a good thing I like peanut butter). I still have my hair with no sign yet of it thinning. There is a slim chance that I may have missed it this time and it wont happen until my next round. Time will tell. God is being gentle on me - I am thankful.

Great news! That's great that they aren't expecting any dips for you this time through. I'll keep praying that you'll have it easy for the next 15 weeks too! XOXOXO
