Sooooooooo....
Got the phone call this afternoon.
My white count is 0.8 and it needs to be 1. The nurse said it's not drastically low, but low enough.
So - I had to go back into hospital this afternoon for an injection to boost the production of my white cells. Joy. I could have had it in my tummy but opted for the back of the arm. It stung like mad. So going to have the next one in my tummy. Got to go tomorrow at 2pm for another.
Then fingers crossed chemo will be able to go ahead on Thursday. I am still smiling. It's not delayed a whole week like last time.
It was frustrating to have to go back in again today and then tomorrow and then again on Thursday, but hey!! I HAVE A PARKING PERMIT!
I'm really sleepy now. Need to have something to eat and you know when you can't be bothered doing anything or cooking. That's me tonight. Hmmmm...... food.
My name is Liz Ellis. Here you can read all about my experience of Hodgkin's Lymphoma, a form of cancer. I was diagnosed on 30th March 2011. I began writing this blog the day after! I found it a really helpful way to get my feelings out. My chemotherapy finished on 6th October 2011. I have been in remission since Nov 2011.
