My first week of five chemo treatments is over. I survived. It actually wasn't too bad. I didn't have any negative side effects during the week. I really felt pretty good.
This past weekend wasn't too bad either. I was (and still am) extremely tired and my back/side pain has come back. If this is the worst of it, I can definately handle it.
I went to the doctor's office today for a blood test. Of course my counts have dropped, but they aren't too low. I was still able to go to school today. Peg, the head nurse, thinks that my counts (white blood cells) are going to continue to drop as the week progresses. I was lucky enough to get two shots today to try to help build up my white blood cells and hemoglobin. I have to go back every day this week to get shots. I am not looking forward to it, but it is something I have to do.
Please pray that my counts don't drop too low. Thank you!

Thank you so much for your detailed update about your health Sheri! In my prayers of praise and thanksgiving and then my prayers which include my petitions, I can be very specific because of your blogs which inform and teach all of us. When I was on a retreat many years ago, our song for the weekend was 'Gather Us In'. You are truly a witness and a messenger of the Word which has strengthened many in our walk with our God! Take it easy the next couple of days and let us and the Lord work in your favor.
Lots of Love, Mary
Take care of yourself and know that we're all praying for you and thinking about you constantly. Sleep a lot today and build up those counts.
