Today is day +7 and all is well. My blood counts have risen for the past two days. This can mean that the new stem cells are in and doing their thing. However, it can also be a false start that will drop again before the real start.

The doctors have said that it really is presenting itself as an actual rise, but it shouldn’t start until day +10 thru +14. I told them that I have over 100 people praying for me and that can cause a lot of differences. So far they are not buying that. However, they will learn.

Today marks another start. I woke up with a lot of hairs on my pillow. They are all short since they had just started growing from the last chemo. My eyebrows are also leaving. They never fell out yet so it will be a first without them. I guess the chemo and irradiation did its job.

My nausea and diarrhea are still under control and my mouth is still not sore like it should be. God is continuing to bless me daily.
