Chemotherapy - ABVD - day 15, the start of cycle 8
note:
the final blood test results are in I'm still at a dangerously low level for my neutrophil counts (0.4), we have proceeded with the chemo for this cycle and the doctors have put me on to a 5 day regime of neupogen shots to help stimulate my bone marrow to produce more white blood cells where the virus fighting neutrophil cells (a type of white blood cell) is also produced.
