WBC Count: 6.92

            Good news on Thursday: David’s white blood cell count came down, from 29.68 Monday to 6.92. His platelets are down, but that’s probably due to the blood thinner he’s taking to breakdown the blood clots in his arm.

The hydroxyurea was lowered to 4 g/day. This morning he stopped taking it; we’ll see on Monday if the trial drugs are contributing to the drop.

            David also had another eye exam on Thursday. Presumably his eyes are fine, but they are keeping close track, since the drugs MEK and DYL can cause eye damage. Cancer treatment is not for the faint-hearted.
