Dr. Kewalramani called me today regarding my low white blood count. He made the point that it wasn’t "real low", but that we need to monitor it. I am going to have blood counts at two week intervals. If the count doesn’t go up in four to six weeks, I’ll have to have a bone marrow biopsy to try and find out what’s up, rule out any pathology, etc.<\/p>\n
I’ve had bone marrows three times, and they are not too bad, and don’t take long. But it is an invasive procedure and I’d like to avoid it. So I’m going to start mentally talking to my bone marrow to get a move on and start turning out more wbc’s! <\/p>\n
I feel fine – in the gym this evening for an hour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
