white blood cells and what they mean to me...

Last week I had my third chemo treatment, halfway done yay! The week started off crappy as I had a bit of a cold. So after my treatment, I just got worse. My doctor said that I just had a virus and the only thing that I could do is keep taking over the counter stuff. My mom ended up getting sick too and on Monday went in to a walk-in clinic. The doctor said that she had Bronchial Asthma(spelling), if she had waited longer she would have gotten pneumonia (spelling). So that freaked me out as I just kept getting more tired and feeling sick. On Tuesday I went into my Oncologist's office and got blood drawn. They still said that I had a virus and they can't do anything for me. My doctor did end up giving me some antibiotics as my white blood cell count was way low. He was worried that my cold might turn into something. He also kept saying "I think you will be fine". They are going to cut back on the chemo next time because my wbc's were so low. I don't know what that means, but that's okay with me. I felt like throwing up all day on Tuesday and have never felt more weak. I think I'll start saying Terrible Tuesday. Ed was back last weekend, it was great, except for the fact that I was sick the whole time. I think that is the best time for him to be here, though, because he was here to make me feel better. He won't be back now until Thanksgiving and only for a couple of days because he will be finished with training and moving to NC. Until next time...
