Big Surprise...chemo sucked again this week! It was a particularly hard day. I arrived at VGH at 9am only to hear that my white blood cell count was too low to go ahead with treatment so we were waiting for a differential blood test to come back. After waiting an hour and a half the test arrived only to show that my differential was too low as well. The nurse put in a call to my doctor to let him know what was going on. Finally at 11:30 my doctor came by and told me we'd proceed with treatment anyway, I'd just have to go back on the hormone injections to help generate white blood cells. So with such a late start I didn't leave VGH until 4:30pm. It was such a long day. Then yesterday I had made plans with my dad, my brothers, and Luc to go see Superman Returns 3D at noon. I woke up not feeling well but I went ahead with the plans as it is so hard to find a time that works for everyone. I wound up being in a chipper mood and enjoying the day, it was my first 3D movie. But man am I paying today, I woke up feeling very ill, complete with sore throat, achy bones, and fuzzy head. So I'm not doing anything today in hopes that as much rest as I can get will help the awfulness pass.
