As expected, Lisa's pre-chemo blood tests this afternoon show that last week's chemo has made her more anemic (red blood cell count) and lowered her immune system (white blood cell count).  Her other blood chemistry indicators are in reasonable range.  The chemo treatment went well, and she has spent most of the evening in bed.

Tomorrow afternoon she will go in for an immune system booster (Neulasta).  We know that this will probably give her flu-like symptoms over the weekend when she'd usually feel better, but it's necessary so that her white cell count doesn't crash further.
