Screw You Cancer!
Yesterday I received a phone call from the cancer specialist nurse over at the University Hospital North Durham. She asked had I been to get my blood tests done, as I was due to be having my 4th cycle of chemo on Thursday and Friday. Last weeks was delayed as my neurophils, something I know nothing about were low. Apparently your neutrophils are the most abundant (40% to 75%) type of white blood cells and form an essential part of the innate immune system.
They are formed from stem cells in the your bone marrow. Anyhoo mine were low last week and so I needed to have more tests done before I could go ahead with treatment.
