Today's clinic visit:
Dr. L: "Any aches, pains, fever, diarrhea or constipation?"
Me: "No"
Dr. L: "Has he been taking his 6MP and Methotrexate?"
Me: "Yes"
Dr. L: "Religiously?"
Me: "Yes"
Dr. L: "I can tell"
We are neutropenic again....ANC of 490. No school, no pool, no chemo, come back in a week.
A new twist developing to this scenario though....as Dr. L says "we have busted protocol"
Usually, when we are neutropenic, Carson's dosage is dropped in half, his counts rise too high and then we try and up the chemos, only to have counts crash again. This time, we're only going to lower his dosages by 10% or so and see what happens. Maybe a happy medium, lurking out there somewhere ???
Until then, just call Carson "Mr. Low Counts"
