Hello all,
I apologize for the long stretch of silence. I am currently at the hospital. Today is my sixth day. I was admitted with neutropenic fever once again. My white count is now back up so that is good news. However, I've been developing a fever at night so they have kept me here to do some tests before I am released. I will see the doctor in the morning. I hope to go home soon! As you can imagine, I am getting a bit restless!
I have learned that my last two chemotherapy treatments will be moved to every three weeks. My doctor hopes the extra week will give my body time to develop T cells but also to try and keep me out of the hospital! (T cells or T lymphocytes belong to a group of white blood cells known as lymphocytes, and play a central role in cell-mediated immunity.)
I hope everyone had a great New Years! Don't forget to get your flu shot ;-)
Lauren
