Just a quick update...
Chemo #3 was on March 3rd... 11:30. It only took 4 1/2 hours (much better than the 7 1/2 hours the first time around, and 6 1/2 hours the second time). Dad hung out with me, we sipped our Starbucks, and surfed the web.
I learned how to give myself neupogin injections so I could prevent another bout of neutropenic fever. Seven days - once a day - tiny little needle, punched into my belly... It is now seven days later and I think I did a splendid job, if I do say so myself. The shots are a MUCH better option than a hospital stay.
Things are going well. I'm at my low white blood cell count stage of my third post-chemo round, so I'll be staying in for the next few days. I was super energetic the last few days so I visited a bunch of people and got a LOT of one on one time with friends I haven't seen in a long long time. Everyone seems to like my gray hat with the 1920's bow on it. Everyone says I look good, and am in good spirits, so that's a plus. Of course, I remind them that I only go out when I'm feeling well and in good spirits. Trust me, you WON'T see me on a day where I'm feeling yucky!
Anyhow, I think that's all for now. I'm looking forward to seeing Little Shop of Horrors in a week, working on a new website, an finally cleaning out my file cabinets.
