Guest guest Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Hi All, I had 3 days of CR last week, Mon, Tues, Wed.. My neck nodes doubled, underarms also doubled to the size of a egg and were a tiny bit sore sometimes. I had minor slowdown of activities and moved a little slower for a few days. I saw my ONC on Thurs. and will take 5 days of Prednisone, 60mg. My ONC consulted with Dr. Rai regarding my treatment. My ONC tried R only back in Feb. WBC when from 175,000 to 36,000 on March 19th. I had another day of R on 7/7/10, WBC were 70,000 down to 25,000. I then climbed to 47,000 by 9/13 and then CR. . My new low was 11,000 on 9/15 and PLT down to 75 and RBC and HGB back into low normal. On 9/23 WBC up to 18.6 PLT doubled to 150 but RBC and HGB down to just below normal. I'm a 56 yr. male, very active cyclist, I did a 32 mile ride Sat. after chemo, then 20 miles last Tues., a little slower than normal but feel fine and no side effects. Good appetite and sleeping better after IV steroids wore off. Its early in the treatment and I'm somewhat new to this and curious how it sounds.
