True Blood


I've just cycled to hospital to get my bloodwork done (note: to hospital here in my town, not to Helsinki which is 50km away. I'm no Lance Armstrong). These two weeks have passed amazingly fast, which gives me hope. Tomorrow is the 3rd session out of 12. Not too bad. Only 9 to go.

Here's a photo of the previous blood results from 7th July and 12th July, a curios fact which might be interesting only to me and others suffering from the same thing but oh well. If you take a look, you can see how the haemoglobin is slowly rising (which is a good thing) and how the CRP has settled to normal values. According to the doctors these are all signs that the treatment is working. Careful attention is paid to the white cells (leuk and neut) which tend to sink because of the chemo. My values, so far, are quite decent, they say.

Have a good one!

  3. I like your headline... ;) Kiva että veriarvosi ovat hyvät. Ajattele että sinulla kohta on jo neljäsosa hoidoista alta pois. Nopeastihan tämä menee.
