Ali, glad you're out of hospital, hope you feel better soon, just think every day you'll start to come out of this horrible haze and will be able to do more 'normal' things as each day starts.
I was admitted overnight on Saturday night for the same thing, they did bloods and my neutrophil count was good so they sent me home and said my white cells were good enough to fight the infection without antibiotics so that was a relief. Good to know my blood count has sufficiently recovered the weekend before the next chemo at least! No sleep at all though in hosp as the IV machine kept me awake all night, took me til Monday to catch up.
Am having the last chemo on Monday and still feel a bit 'chemically', can't wait to get it done, then I start radiotherapy on 19th December. I was offered a break til the New Year but I just want it all done asap, have been offered an extra 'bonus' week of radiotherapy so will have 4 weeks instead of 3 weeks now, I'll take all the treatment I'm offered...I want to throw everything at this disease!
I'm so buoyed by you all, we should be really proud of ourselves. Even though outwardly we may look like graceful swans to others, we all know how much we're kicking those legs below the surface! We're all within weeks of starting the next chapter so lets pat ourselves on the back for keeping our chins up in between the setbacks and humps in the road, we're all the stronger for it.
One day at a time ladies. xx
