There's a big improvement on Adrian's Neutrophils level after the GCSF shot yesterday. It's now at 0.76 and Platelet at 83. Adrian is scheduled for another blood test on Monday to see the final number and the 4th cycle of chemo should start by next Tuesday on June 5th. The nurse in the ward told us a recipe that many of the kids in the ward are trying - boil "peanut skin" with water - apparently, the "rumor" is it helps the growth of platelet. Papa woke up early today and checked out 4 shops but none of them sell "peanut skin". Will keep on trying!!

Perhaps you may have to buy peanuts and shell them yourselves...

Good luck and God bless.

Thanks Kaitlyn's mommy for your suggestion. In fact, that was my last resort (buy peanuts and shell them myself) if I couldn't find the dried ones....
