Friday - Oncology checkup

Things went well in New York today! Robin had her CBC (Complete Blood Count) checked and her white blood cell count has rebounded since chemo ended last Friday!

When she was asked "On a scale of one to ten how much did her mouth hurt this week?" she said it was a ten! Ouch! It’s now easy to see the blisters on her lips and tongue - but they should be healed in just a few more days. The oncologist said these blisters are caused by the 5FU she received last week, and she won't be getting 5FU anymore. (yea!) He did note that Radiation Therapy may also produce mouth sores, and if so they will take longer to heal.
