Dear White Blood Cells:

To the white blood cells that are currently being formed in my body, PLEASE don't die! I have had 6, count them, 6 shots of Neupagen (the drug that hurts your bones and muscles) to keep my white blood cell count up in the last 2 weeks, and it just doesn't seem to be working. It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have to stay away from public places and crowds on the days that I receive the shots. Well, that's been pretty much every day lately! I'm done complaining...well kinda. The doctor seems to think that the shot today will keep the count up until Monday so I can get chemo again on that day. I will definitely be praying that it does stay up so I don't have to put it off another week and feel like puking at the drop of a hat on Thanksgiving. That would be just lovely :)
