On November 25th, I got my second dose of chemo- completing Round One.

My chemo is given over a 5 minute slow push.

That little syringe knocked me to the mat! My blood counts dropped. I got a fever, which is treated as life-threatening to someone with low counts, so Dr. Laudi sent me to Mercy Hospital ER for blood cultures and antibiotics.

After a week to recover, Round Two started on December 9th. When I went for the second dose on the 16th, my counts were too low, so I got a "Snow Day" and finished up some Christmas shopping with my mom. Dr. Laudi ordered 6 days of Neupogen shots (I can't stand those things! More about that later)
On 12/20, my ANC was 1.7, so my chemo was a go on the 23rd. Ding! Ding! End of Round Two!

After Christmas we will do another PET and CT scan. Please pray that everything is getting smaller or is gone! I hope the New Year brings peace and love and joy to all!
Praying for you!
