4 down...

8 to go. that means i'm 1/3 of the way :) hooray! next week we have to cross our fingers for high white blood counts though. apparently i barely made it this week. i have to have 1500/whatever they're measuring, and i had 1510. if i go below 1500 they can't give me chemo and i have to push everything back a week. and as far as i know there's not much to be done about it. except get the nuelasta shots again. let's hope i don't have to go that route, since the side effect of those shots is muscle/bone pain, and i've already got a corner on that market.

anyway, i made it through the first few days of school. tomorrow is friday- and payday- hooray! and the weekend has lots of fun in store :) so i'm refusing to be sick. but i will force myself to rest and try to grow white blood cells...

the big news today is that i got a haircut. not really a haircut- but a trim around my ears! so far, my hair has continued to grow, and hasn't started to fall out or thin that i can tell. i'm hoping this continues, but not expecting it to. i've heard stories of it falling out 8 weeks or more into treatment. and one of my friends lost all of her eyelashes/eyebrows 6 weeks after she had completely finished treatment! so i'm not going to consider myself out of the woods until thanksgiving...

i'm going to zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzjzpoldkhkf;..... whoops fell asleep on the keyboard. time for bed!! good night :)
