I know it's been a while since my last post, but I just wanted to let everyone know that I have been doing really well since my first chemo treatment. I started school last Monday and I've been hanging out with friends - Just living life as usual.
Also, I finally got the results back from my bone marrow biopsy (which I had done like a month ago) and GOOD NEWS my cancer is NOT stage 4, which means I should be done with chemo around the end of December or early January.
My second chemo appointment was originally scheduled for last Thursday (Sept 23rd), but after looking at the results of my labs, the nurses noticed that my white blood cell count was way too low and my appointment had to be pushed back a week (currently scheduled for this Thursday - Sept 30th).
White blood cells are also called "fighter cells" and when a person's white blood cell count gets too low it makes them much more susceptible to illness and infection. The nurses told me that from now on, after each chemo treatment, I'll be getting "booster" shots to help my body produce more white blood cells.
