had chemo number 8 yesterday :) hooray! had a hoooooorible night of sleep, though. for some reason, it felt like there were bugs crawling up and down my spinal cord. like i would assume restless leg syndrome feels like, only in my back. gross. and frustrating. and that was *with* my sleeping meds. ugh. after about 2 hours i was finally able to fall asleep on the couch. i'm so glad i was able to get chemo though that i don't mind too much.
my white counts were a bit low yesterday. they actually had to separate and count them out by hand to make sure my nuetrafils (sp?) were high enough. i guess those are the important 0nes
for chemo. i may be getting a neulasta shot to help boost the cells.
i had them check to see if i was anemic and i'm not... but no one is surprised by how tired i am. i did get a nap in while i was getting treatment, so that helped some :)
hoping for the steroids and sleeping meds and chemo to play together nicely tonight so that i can sleep... we'll see how it goes :)
