Fortunately my neutrophils are looking good today, moving in the right direction due to my nivestym shots. This means I am cleared for takeoff and can safely do today’s infusion. The neutrophils (a type of white blood cell) typically get reduced significantly due to chemotherapy. If they are too low — as was the case for me back in early Sept — they have to postpone the chemo appt. So, very glad to see that.

On a completely different note, I must thank my sis Katy for introducing me to Brooklyn Nine-Nine. I just finished the first season of this wonderful comedy. Highly recommended — I am finding that anything that helps you laugh during a serious illness and treatment stuff — is a very good thing.
