I did not see my oncologist. I only went in for pre-chemo blood work. They just called me and told me my white blood cell count is still too low, 1.4, to have a treatment tomorrow. I actually only see my oncologist after a PET scan has been done, which is after three cycles of treatments. In the interim, I see the PA. I am on a two weeks on and one off for treatments. Treatments for two Thursdays in a row, and then off a week. So far I have only had one cycle on my new drugs, Gemzar and Cisplatin. I understood they were "potent", so I'm sure that's what has brought my WBC count down so low. It's frustrating as this will put me at four weeks with no treatment of any kind, and my CA-125 has skyrocketed. I'm still waiting for the result on this week's CA-125 reading. I understand they can't give me a treatment with my WBC so low as it is too risky and dangerous, but it is still worrisome to me, knowing these cancer cells are spreading. I just don't know what to do.
