Chemo on Thursday and beyond...

OK, so I had chemotherapy on Thursday as scheduled. It was a little touch-and-go there for awhile because by WBCs (white blood cell count for those that don't know) were really low 1.2. The lowest that the Dr likes them to be is 1.5, but at this point with the rate of my tumors growth putting off the treatment is probably a bigger risk than doing it.

Friday was not totally horrible even though it was the "day after". I was a little more tired than usual, but that's understandable. I went in to the office in the late afternoon for my Neulasta shot. That was fun. NOT! No, but seriously, it's not bad. Just a quick jab and press and we're done. The part when the meds are going in hurts more than the poke itself, but it's all good, it doesn't last more than a few seconds or so.

Today is Saturday, and I am here (alone) chillin'. The boys are out for some daddy/son time and I get to enjoy some peace. Ahhh a win win situation. Today my town is having their Wine and Art Stroll. It's an event where artists come out and create their works in public, and walkers by can sip win and watch/or chat with them as they create. I want to go, but if I do I will probably have to wear a mask to protect myself from the germies out there. It would be worth it though, because I just want to get out of the house! :)
