Recovery definitely isn’t a linear path. My blood counts are still good and my skin is healing from the chemo rash, but my appetite is gone again and I’ve been vomitting more frequently. I lost 8 pounds in the past week and a half. I’ve lost 51 pounds since my transplant. My sense of taste still hasn’t fully returned, which doesn’t help with trying to eat.

 

Yesterday’s blood counts:

White blood cells: 7.5

Hemoglobin: 9.3

Platelets: 238
