Well today is the big day - my port is coming out. In the end they decided to take it out even though I am severely neutropenic. They are currently priming me up with heaps of antibiotics and I had to have a neupogen injection despite the side effects so that hopefully my count is above 0.5 by the time they operate this afternoon.
One more complication has arisen which is that my white cells do not seem to be recovering from chemo. It has been 16 days now and I am still severely neutropenic and seem to be going downhill quicker than up. If after 28 days my white cells still do not recover then they would like to investigate whether the chemo has done some underlying damage to my bone marrow and white cell production which will involve another bone marrow test. Obviously I am hoping they recover so I do not have to go through that again. Despite all of this I am still planning on leaving hospital tomorrow. I have totally had enough of the place and am very keen to get home. I will have to be very careful as I am neutropenic but I cannot just sit in here waiting for my white cells to recover as I will definitely go insane!! So I am sure I am going to have a battle on my hands tomorrow to be allowed to leave but hopefully I will be allowed home

Hi Bernadette,
Here’s hoping you DO get to go home to your family SOON, and that your body starts doing all the right things!! Thinking of you.
