Last week I saw Dr. Zeitlin, the ENT physician treating my sinusitis, and again had a complete blood count (CBC) at MSK in Sleepy Hollow.
My sinus infection feels much better, but I still have a drip. Dr. Z confirmed this when she stuck that little flexible tube up my nose and had a look-see. So she took another culture and put me back on the augmentin atinbiotic, that I had just finished a 14 day course on. She will call me in a few days with the culture results.
While I have the nasal drip, I really feel pretty good, and my gym workouts are going well.
As far as my blood count, the WBC was 4.3 (a low normal) and the Absolute neutrophils (sp?) was 3.4, which is a low to mid normal. My last shot of neulasta was on 2/8, and the blood results were from 2/24, so the test I had on Friday (3/2) will be very interesting. That was 23 days after the neulasta shot, and hopefully my counts wont sink much from the 2/24 counts. I will call tomorrow and try to get the results.
Then this coming Friday I again see Dr. Klimek, the hematologist, and we’ll see what she has to say.
