Today my oncology team let me sleep. I didn't end up going to sleep until 4am and it was rough. I just couldn't go to sleep, no matter what I tried. When I heard them come in this morning, I heard my doctor say just let her sleep, I'm sure there have been no changes.
It was nice. So I slept until about 12:30 and got up and was HUNGRY. I ordered some breakfast (a bagel) and lunch (hamburger) and of course a fresh fruit plate. Which I'm not sure why they haven't changed my diet because according to my latest blood counts, my white blood count is at a 1. hmm.
My red blood count is at a 2.4 (normal is 3.9-5.1) and my platelets are sitting low at a 14 (normal is about 140). I'm showing signs of bruises but nothing too crazy....yet.
I didn't have visitors today nor did I feel like visitors. I just felt like laying in bed all day and that's what I did. It's 9pm and I'm already ready for bed but they haven't even started my pre-meds yet. I guess they're running behind. Which is fine by me because I ate a whole can of chicken soup about an hour ago and I was afraid my nausea would be strong. But nothing yet. I've been trying to flush with water as much as possible but that CHEMO taste is just awful.
Anyways, not much else to report except chemo feels like it's finally taking a toll on my body. But it's day 5 and I have 3 days of rest after this before my next bag. I've been through tougher, I can do it. Well anyways, it's a short blog tonight, I'm ready to go to sleep.
Thanks for reading. Sorry it was boring. lol.
Good night,

I followed your blog last time, and intend to keep up with you this time as well. We had a class together at OCU, if you remember... Calc II. I think about you often and pray for you to have an easy and quick recovery. You've got this! :)
