Lab Reports & Hair

My husband's CBC shows his white blood count to be 10.8 which is in the normal range. I am a little concerned though, the last WBC was very high....25. So yes, it's come down to normal range, but does that mean if it had been in normal range last time, that it would be really low this time because of those nasty drugs killing everything inside him?? Anybody? Is it dropping as we speak? I would LOVE some feedback. :))

His hair has started falling out. It started at the end of last week, I forgot to mention it. L was complaining of pain on his scalp when it started, like a serious burning rash. He insisted that I check his head but I found nothing there and it hurt him when I touched his hair.

I told him that it was probably his hair follicles dying from the chemo meds. I googled to see if there was anything topical for the pain and came up with nada. The only thing that has stopped other cancer patients pain is to shave their heads. I read also that some people had the same pain when their hair started growing back. This week Hubbs whiskers are falling out, but his pain has gone away. Thank goodness! I hate to see him in pain and he's such a baby! Lol

Tomorrow he goes in for his second round of chemo. It'll be the same as last time, all day infusion of Docetaxel & Cisplatin, then he'll wear the pump with 5-Fluorouracil for 4 more days.

5 days of full dose TPF.

I will say that I'm glad this go round he is starting off feeling a heck of a lot better than his first round. Maybe it won't kick his a$$ as bad. Here's hoping.
Light and love to all. Nightie night
