Today was my fourth Chemo treatment. My cousin Alicia came along for the ride this time. I gained another 3 and a half pounds!!
Before each treatment is started the nurse takes a blood sample to check my counts. She came back and told my white blood count was low. Particularly my neutrophils. She said that Dr. Draper said it was okay to go ahead with treatment. But I really need to avoid large crowds, stores and sick people. I guess I will have to be real careful! More so than I have been. Nothing super exciting happened. Got there at 11 and was out by 2:45.
When I got home boy was I exhausted and still am. It has never hit me like this on the first day of chemo. I took a nap when I got home. (my mom watched Kalli today) And I will be going to bed very shortly.
HAIR REPORT -
I still have hair! A lot has been falling out though and it is thinning. But you wouldn't be able to tell. I am unable to style it the way I used to because it is thinner. So I had to cut the back a little to give it a better shape. Yes you heard me I cut my hair. It isn't perfect but I figured I had nothing to lose. LOL
I actually like the way it looks and it is easier for me to deal with.
I guess I have nothing else more to say. I will update you tomorrow.
