660407 - Blood counts increase this week, shown by the Lab report today with
660408 - NEUTS 2.41, ref SDS 0 QY6H, compared with NEUTS 1.92 last week on
660409 - 080731, ref SDS D9 QY6H  This continues well above the minimum of 1.5

660411 - blood counts today improves on consecutive weeks of declining counts
660412 - while getting chemotherapy treatment with Carboplatin.  Indicates 2
660413 - Neupogen treatments per week may be back on a path of rising
660414 - effectiveness, so that Millie will not need a 3rd weekly Neupogen
660415 - treatment in order to continue getting effective care in the clinical

660431 - there may be less need for adding a 3rd Neupogen treatment per week,
