Long Day of Chemo

Wow, talk about a long day at the hospital, my appointment was at 8:00am and I ended up being there until 6pm, they wanted to keep me until 8:30pm so I could take this last chemo through my IV but decided to send me home with the oral version.  Which was a liquid that tasted suspiciously like a permanent smells.  I nearly threw up after trying to quickly consume the first half in one gulp, then after being horrified at the thought of drinking the other half, mixed it with dark coffee and two hot chocolate packets and nausea meds.

My LP went pretty well other than he went right through a tight muscle I had going on which is NOT pleasant, though there's no way of noticing that.  Chemo every day now with extra chemo and the LP once a week for a month, then we'll see where I'm at.

Thank you for your prayers, and since god is a smart alek, my neutrophils were exactly .7. ;)  My platelets took a huge jump so the doctor figured we were pretty safe to go ahead.

counts:
WBC= 2.6
HCT= 31
PLT= 200
