Day 3 of shots

Today was my third shot of Neupogen to boost my WBC. My last day is tomorrow and Tuesday I get reevaluated. While you are getting these shots you should really take it easy, eat only cooked foods, wear masks, and avoid crowds since you are so susceptible. Expect uncomfortable bone pain...Mine is in my hips, legs, back and jaw. I really hope I can start chemo this week! I will keep you all posted...

Neutropenia :(

Hi everyone, today was supposed to be my 3rd cycle of chemo. I feel fine, really awesome actually. But, my neutrophils count is too low to receive treatment. This is a type of white blood cell that helps you fight infection. It is a "normal thing," but is a bummer. I have to go in for shots for the next 4 days that boost my low number. In the meantime, I have to rest and follow some rules. Here are a few of them on my "necklace."
