4 way

well, numero 4 started today. my good friends tingly fingers and prickly throat action are back to hang out. i'm sure pukish urges are just around the corner, but i guess i'm happy to be moving onwards. owards and upwards as they say, whoever they are.

I have been battling a cold lately, but i learned that my immune system that battles colds is unaffected by the chemo, so that was refreshing. It more deals with the immune system that battles infections. I was super nervous that they would maybe not want to treat me if I was sick, but they didnt have any issues w/ it. It's good, b/c i was scared it'd mess my sched up and I'd not be able to come home for xmas. So, I'm on the up and up, as the cold is seemingly fading, and refreshing to know my immune system will fight the colds that float around during the winter w/ the same skills it always has. Another bonus tidbit of info: dont have get that neulasta bone marrow shot this week! My white blood cell counts are way way highter than last time so I'm all good for the trip back to GA over the holidays. I won't mind missing out on the pain the shot gives me, that's for sure.
