This time I was required to take a blood test first before the chemotherapy. This is because the doctor needs to check my health condition after the first chemotherapy, and to verify that I'm in a good condition to go for the second one.
Below is a comparison of my blood test result on 31/03/2009 and 27/04/2009.
Blood Test Result on 27/04/2009 (One week after Chemotherapy)
Blood Test Result on 31/03/2009 (Before Chemotherapy)
Basically, the chemotherapy caused some collateral damages to my body. My White Blood Cells suffered the most damage; it dropped more than 50%. (From 5.6 to 2.5 thousand/uL). Because of this, I had to wait an hour for the nurse to consult the doctor, whether to postpone my second chemotherapy today.
In the end, I still went through the chemotherapy, which has the same process as last week.
Hopefully, my white blood cells will recover within these two weeks and get ready for the third chemotherapy on 11 May.
