A second week of delays before I can have my second tranche of AZT

Well this is a pain. All my blood counts were fine except my Neutrophils again. They have halved since last week - which is a bit like saying they had gone from nearly zero, to even nearer.
If you look at the graph, then you might expect them negative next week !

So it is wait another week. Have another test. If it goes to .3 then I can start treatment again. I checked with the MDS Specialist nurse in Kings who has done loads of AZT treatments, and she says this often happens, and not to worry.

Meanwhile as I virtually have no immunity the hospital has given my anti-fungal and anti-biotics to take twice a day to stop anything I catch having an adverse effect.
