Round 2

So this is a rush post - our Mac monitor died and I only have a minute on this computer to send an update. I've had a good couple of days. My hair is really coming out. I've sported different scarves the last 2 days and I'm getting used to going out about town with my new look. It's not so bad!

Minna started walking on Friday which is great, a wonderful boost to my mood indeed! Talia is back at school and Minna started with a new nanny yesterday and she's adjusting wonderfully.

I go for my next round of chemo tomorrow. I'm not thrilled, but I am looking forward to being able to say I'm halfway through with AC when I go home tomorrow. I met with my oncologist this morning and we went through my list of questions/side effects. She was quite pleased with my current state. I had my blood drawn right before my appt with her. And after I left I got an email with the results and it looks like my white blood cell count is really low. So starting next week I'll be trained on how to self-inject Neupogen which is a drug that will help boost my WBC (white blood cell) count enough so I can stay on track with my treatment. I don't know more than that right now, but when I go into the hospital tomorrow for my infusion I will get the 411.

More later, when I've got access to the computer again....
