October 18 - Day 17

Day - 17

wbc -0.2
hgb - 9.1
plt  -  16

Well things do turn around quickly, I was having some problems which they thought was thrush, but may not be, running a lowgrade fever until last night and then when up to over 101 and I had some nausea, not fun, If it is my pic line, I want them not to use this again on my next three treatments, so maybe they will be putting in a port.  They also gave me a shot to boost my white blood cells, but that didn't happen, said it will probably be tomorrow that they come up.  On the brighter side of yesterday, Dr. Lockhart, visited me which thrilled me very much. I miss my faculty and it meant a lot to me to have him come and visit.

Hoping everyone has a great day and I'll be blogging again soon..

Wednesday, October 17 = Day 16

Well I'm still here, and my count is still not up yet today

I have received plateletts 2 days in a row. I am so ready to go home, but not yet today I am running a fever, and I have a blister on my tongue that comes from having the treatment. They are giving me antibiotics, and lidocaine mouthwash, ugh! so maybe by tomorrow I'll be feeling better. My friend Deb, Bernie, Steve and Susan came to see me yesterday. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday.. till then!!!

Stephanie came to visit yesterday and we had a fun time. Her mom (lisa) and grandpa and mimi her other grandparents were there to along with her Uncle Scotty. Michele and Brad and Yana and Summer came to visit and it was a good day.

my counts were up yesterday due to getting steroids for a rash I had, but are now going down since rash is done and no more steroids..

Hope everyone had a great weekend and will have a great day also. love to all...

Sunday 10-7-12

10-7-12 Sunday...Things are looking good as far as my counts, but I am assured they will all change, had a rash and they were treating me with steroids which made my white blood cells come up, but everything should drop within this week and then hopefully go back up by next week...was hoping I wouldn't be in here as long as last time, but it looks like it might be close to that.  My granddaughter and great granddaughter (the baby)came to see me yesterday along with my daughter and husband have to get those visits in with the baby  so when I get neutropenic I will not be able to see them until I can go home again.. Football today, yeah I like to watch the fox boys and keep on top of the games, so that will occupy my day today...everyone have a great sunday....

10-6-12

Saturday, my counts are still ok, today I get the 3rd and last dose of chemo, then maybe the fun begins, have a rash all over my body, think it is from chemo...not pretty, the first night they injected a dose of benadril in my iv, boy did it make me jumpy like a rabbit!!! so i am taking pills instead which seems to be ok. My children are here everyday and my husband..He is pretty busy with business which is good. Not much to post other than everyone have a great day ....
