Back on Track!!!

Treatment 4 completed!!!  Only three left.  Yesterday when they checked my white blood count it was high! Where the problem was the numbers (absolute neutrophlis) had to be 1.0, but it had been .8 and .49.  After two weeks rest from chemo, antibiotics in case it was infection in the toes, and daily shots to help it; the result was a roaring success with it being 38.42. I was exploring on the "Follow Your Health" site and found a graph for that and could see that my numbers on that had been going down for a number of treatments. So maybe my body needed a rest to rebuild.  

It was interesting to go back after two weeks off.  It I felt good. I think because I know I am moving forward and there is a completion to this part of the chemo treatment. The whole thing went faster today, because I didn't have to do the blood draw and wait for the lab results, my friend Catherine took me and Shawn joined me for the treatment.  I had a good sleep and rest when I got home, as a result, I am feeling good.  I am in the I feel pretty good, "I can do things", "I can conquer the world" mode right now.  I will more than likely not feel so much that way in a few days.  At least that has been the pattern in the previous treatment cycles. I will try to rest along, that seems to always help a lot.

I am happy to be feel that I am moving forward!!! 16 treatments (18 weeks) completed and 3 treatments ahead.  Then we'll make plans for the following radiation treatments and anti-estrogen treatment.  

Thanks for your prayers and love.
