And my cardio is <u>starting<\/u> to come back. I used the ellyptical trainer for the first time in almost three weeks and didn&#8217;t feel too bad. This is a big improvement on the prior two weeks, when I really had to curtail my gym activites &#8211; down to three days a week. Before that, I had been getting to the gym five to six days a week.<\/p>\n<p>My cell counts I&#8217;m sure are still way off, but they must be better then they were. The shot of Darbepoetin on Thursday probably helped boost my red blood cells.<\/p>\n<p>I will go to the gym later today, ride the stationery bike and have a weights session. Our meeting with the transplant service is this Thursday, and then I&#8217;ll get the date for my stay at Sloan Kettering. I expect it will start at the end of next week. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My last chemotherapy ended four weeks ago today.
