Sorry for the delay in my updates…trying to get my white blood count up is HARD work you know. *smile* It has been a week of sitting on the couch in my soft new jammies (thanks Kari!), and trying to stay far, far away from the world of germs. Ok….so it hasn’t been THAT rough (other than me being a little stir crazy at times). J Besides my “froggy” voice, I am actually feeling pretty well, which I am thankful for.
This week is considered my “recovery” week, the week where my body is supposed to recuperate from my previous chemo treatments to gear up for the next big round of chemo. As long as my white count is up on Friday, we will be good to go for the next cycle. Let’s hope that’s the case…I don’t want to prolong any treatments; I just want to blast through this and get ‘er done!
On a more cautious note, I am a little bit concerned about chemo this week. Not the actual process of receiving it, but at my body’s reaction to it afterwards. For those of you that have had allergic reactions before, you know that the more of something you have, the worse the reaction can be. Having swollen hands, hives and pain last week, I fear that I will again experience some sort of negative reaction from the drugs (let’s just hope it’s not worse and that the steroids can keep it in check).
I continue to be blessed with wonderful people spoiling me each week….delicious meals, fun care packages, rides for my kids, thoughtful words, prayers and calls…you all amaze me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart…
Love to all...

Given this crazy cold weather, I think the idea of staying cozy inside away from germs is a good one for us all!
