I jumped the cue the other day (Friday, Mar 12) and had my blood tested two weeks early. I've been having dizzy spells and overwhelming fatigue. My worst fear was that the cancer was seeping back. Turns out the reverse in true. My blood count has been knocked down below normal by some unknown force. It could be an infection like sinus, cold, flu or even the healing of my nose. It could also be leftovers from rituximab which is designed to suppress the white cells.
I spoke with Doctor Y after the test results were in. If my blood count hasn't improved by Monday, I'll be off for another bone marrow examination. The answer to what causes the low count must be hidden there.
Meanwhile, life goes on. At least I now know the cause of my light-headedness. It comes and goes. It doesn't hold me back much.

You have always had so much energy. So, I know this is tough.
I hope you'll soon be enjoying a lot of rides and hikes and geocaches with Blarney and that the going down ends and the going up resumes.
