This is such great news, Ryan! I’m so happy Greg is feeling better! It can take a while but once those blood numbers start climbing again, it can make all the difference in the world for the overall general feeling of health and well-being…right in time for the next round. But it gives promise to Greg to know he can feel better again and so with the next round he’ll know what to expect. Though just so you know, from my experience, rebound can take a little longer after each round of chemo.
Having to delay chemo briefly isn’t unusual either while waiting for some slow-poke cells to come up to normal. Sometimes the day after the last day of chemo, doctors will give patients an injection of Neulasta to help boost the white blood count.
In any event, I’d say your dad is every bit the trooper he’s been throughout his life! Give him my best and keep me updated! Lori
