When someone is undergoing chemotherapy, a lot hinges on the blood test results before each chemo session. Low counts can indicate serious side effects, including fatigue, bruising, and increase to infection -- and can also mean that treatment must be postponed while his body heals.

I have my next treatment on Thursday, today I have to go in and have the blood-work done.

Low counts normally don't start presenting a problem until further into the treatments.

I have been eating a rich diet, full of protein, fruits and vegetables high in antioxidants and whole grain cereals and rice.

I will find out my results on Thursday, I suspect they are all good.
