Today is the last day I have to take Cellcept, one of the several immunosuppresants I’ve been taking. My blood counts are still recovering well, but my blood pressure is low (98/58 yesterday). Hopefully my blood pressure will come up some once the Cellcept is out of my system. The doctor also told me that I should not be doing as much as I have been and to rest more. My sense of taste is still slowly coming back. So far the only food I’ve found that tastes like it should is carrots. Everything else, I either don’t taste or it tastes different.
I’m still dealing with some of the physical side effects from the chemo and all the medicines I have to take now, but I’m also having to deal with the mental part of not being able to go anywhere other than home and the doctor’s.
Yesterday’s blood counts:
White blood cells: 4.0
Hemoglobin: 10.0
Platelets: 253
