The weekend went REALLY well! I didn't have any neausea other than the first day really, which is a huge indicator of how the weekend will go, I have found! Jim's brother and his wife came out for the weekend- they were worried about me not feeling up to visitors but it worked out great! Saturday was my bad day, as usual but it wasn't terrible. This cycle was much more like the first 3- and I still seemed to have a decent amount of energy every once in awhile. I was really amazed at how well it went.
By the time Christmas came I was doing pretty good! Of course by then nothing tasted good so all that candy in my stocking will have to wait around for a while before I can actually stand to eat it!
Wednesday I went in for my labwork. I really figured it would be great because I was feeling so good. Not so lucky! The nurse actually asked me if I had even taken my Neulasta shot the day after chemo! I had, of course! Apparently I have no immune system. It was by far the lowest that it has ever been. Surprisingly she didn't tell me to stay at home or wear a mask or anything- just be careful, wash my hands a LOT, and take my temperature 2x a day- and call immediately if I have a fever.
Well, that was on Wednesday and it is now Saturday. I think I am starting to come down with another cold, but I have no fever and by now my counts should be starting to rise again, so I am probably out of the woods. I am really tired of getting sick EVERY SINGLE CYCLE though....
Today we are taking Jim's mom to the airport so she can go home. It was really nice having her here. She has made so many cookies while she has been here- I told her last night after she made a new batch that I was going to send her the bill when I start going back to Weight Watchers! hahaaha!
