Chemo Counts 8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1
Even after being sick at the low point of this cycle, I have recovered really well. My white count had been at least as low as 2.5, and look at it - all the way back up to 4.3, 0.4 higher than the last cycle.
Damn, I never knew or appreciated just how strong and healthy I was/am, deep down under all this other crap. I appreciate it now. I don't think I'll be taking my health for granted any more.
I need to remember that it will be 3 months before I am back to a reasonable immune system - 3 months of still being careful of what I eat, what I clean up around the house. Making sure the boys keep their hands and faces clean. But still, we're very much on the home stretch.
