I just finished my second chemo treatment this afternoon. I had a blood test to make sure all my counts were high enough to get treatment, and they were.
My white blood cells were actually higher than last week. The nurse thinks there might be (or was) a minor infection somewhere in my body that is trying to be fought off. So, she warned me to be catious of fevers higher than 101, and let me know that I need to call her if that happens. High white blood cell counts to me mean that I can go to school!!
My red blood cells and hemoglobin were a little low so I needed a procrit shot in my arm to help boost those up. Believe me, I have not missed that shot one bit! It hurts like you wouldn't believe!!
My platelets were also up a little bit from last week. Overall, I would say that things are going really well so far!
The whole chemo process, including pre-meds and chemo, took about an hour and a half from start to finish. It isn't a bad afternoon at all. I don't mind going there and chatting. I had Mike take a couple of pictures of me in my corner chair. I will try and post them later so you can see what it looks like when I get chemo.
Thanks for your continued prayer and support!
Smooches!

Sheri, I just discovered the blog. What a testament. Duane and I are sitting in bed reading it from day one. It is quite an adventure. You really are a miracle in so many ways. Your spirit amazes me. I can learn much from you. I wish I could think of something that would truly help. I know the best thing is prayer. You have ours. You light up any room you are in at school. It is hard to believe the cancer is back because you look fabulous. I hope you have sleep filled nights and busy school days. You have my utmost respect, admiration and love. I have a hot tub in the yard you can use anytime.! Jua
Hope you watched the Gauntlet! It was a good one, but if you didn't it will give you something to for sure catch this weekend! Take care and take your medicine:-) Love, Michelle
Hello sweet friend!! My mom sent me the link to your blog and I have spent the past hour catching up on your life. I was reflecting on how the first time I met you you had about the same amount of hair and a little bow to boot...in that little house on Ernie Pyle drive. Oh my the memories! I have been praying for you since I heard about the recurrance and am amazed at your great attitude and fighter mentality. Im so proud of you and to know you. I had to giggle at your comments about middle schoolers because you know I taught middle school for 8 years before having K. and then moved on to high school...RAMDOM is the right word. I loved every second of it like I can hear you do it in your blogs. Ill keep in touch. Check out my blog at http://dancingwithcats.blogspot.com
Ill be praying and reading sweet friend xooxo Patti (Groenewold) Shivers
