Hello all,
Well I got healthy enough to take chemo this week. My white blood cell count went from 0.9 to 4.1 during that extra week of rest. That was fantastic. They did however back off another drug in my cocktail to help me stay more on schedule and not make my bone marrow have to work so hard to make the blood cells I need. That means we have backed off on 2 of the 3 chemicals. Matter of fact, the third chemical, 5FU made me sick this week after taking treatment. This is the last chemical they give me and I was sick within the first minute of the 5 minute push before putting the ball on me. It was like a gut bomb and it went right for my stomach. We tried to go to dinner after-wards to take advantage of a birthday dinner coupon, but I had to leave before my food was served. Cheryl and Paige ate and then came home with my food. It tasted good the next day.
Well I didn't want to miss the football games this weekend, but with chemo getting screwed up I knew I would normally fall asleep during the 3/4 quarters of the Packer game. So I had Cari take me to Brad's house where there would be lots of friends and cheering to keep me awake. It worked so good, that I stayed awake until 10pm. I took a shower and was asleep in 10 minutes. I hope I can do this again for the Superbowl, it would be sad to host the party but never see the game or our friends.
Thanks for reading and have a great night,
