Well chemo number 11 finally happened on Monday. I had chemo in the morning and then had to stay until Wednesday morning. I had heaps of fluids pumped through me and felt much better than last time. I still feel worse than I did whilst pregnant however nowhere near as bad as it was after cycle 10. They kept me in for 2 days as my neutrophils and white cell count dropped dramatically after chemo. By the time I left on Wednesday I had become mildly neutropenic. As the levels tend to decline until day 10 it was decided to start me on daily injections to increase my neutrophils as they could not safely go much lower than I was without risking infection and a trip back to hospital (and most likely a long stay). So Cameron has the daily task of giving me my injections - I still have a needle phobia so it is not fun. Hopefully cycle 12 will go ahead in a fortnight and then hopefully the tests after that will be good and I wont have to have anymore (there’s dreaming!!)
