Well, as it happens, this week when I got my blood counts, I had a ridiculously high white blood count rate. I was shocked but then thought back to the weekend full of leg pain and strange internal pulsating feelings (pulsating - found out from the oncologist that this was due to my bones generating white blood cells). Of course, the count will decrease since it is artificially raised but I am pumped that my count should be ok for my next chemo.
I have made it though round 1 of chemo and I have three more rounds to go. Each round is made up of three weeks - week 1 - chemo, week 2 - chemo and week 3 - herceptin only. The chemo has really been going quite well, I feel fine.
I am thinking of introducing the world to Mo's new 'do today. I had no idea that I was going to be this vain about my hair. Why is this so hard for me? Perhaps if I had dainty facial features or was uber-beautiful, it wouldn't be an issue... but well, today is the day. So here I come! I will post a pic soon enough.
The sun is shining... time to get out there!
Mo

Oh, Mo, silly person, you *are* beautiful. Do you really believe that it's your hair people care about? Show it, don't show it, we don't care. We just like it when you are happy!
ReplyDeleteHi Mo,
ReplyDeleteI agree with Joshua...you are beautiful, and if you decide to go out commando-style (like I used to do) you'll probably be totally surprised by how little people will notice.
I'm so so happy to hear your counts are up and am cheering you along so you can sail through the rest. Hang in there, baby. YOU CAN DO IT!!
Hugs and kisses,
Val
Good news on the white blood cell count, Mo! Go legs, go. Never knew that pulsating could indicate that. I'll start sending on pulsating wishes for you. I'm surprised at your hair feelings too: you have rocked short hair a lot of the time I've known you. And, besides,sadly, as Val said above, you'll be surprised at how little people will notice.
ReplyDeleteHang in there baby. Love you.
