Well that was not really very fun. It seems like my body really liked not having chemo for a week. In that week I had a whole lot more energy, and my body started repairing itself. At an amazing rate may I add, I took some copies of my blood work home to look at, and wow. It seems my white blood count more than quadruples over a few days. By the time a week has gone by the important part of my white blood count goes from 0.2 to 4.5. 1.9 to 7.5 is normal. GO BODY! 🙂
However by the time I finished having my chemo on Tuesday past, I feel right back down there as far as energy goes, I even felt nauseous which I don’t usually get. But they filled me with some other drug to make the nauseousness go away. Man drugs left right and center, I can’t wait for the drugs to be gone. It seems like the chemo hit me with a double pow wow this week. I run out of energy in a blink of an eye, and yes, the ARM is back. 🙂 Just one hurting arm at the moment, but its seems to be hurting for both of them. 🙂 So I started the pain tablets this afternoon.
Other than that not much to tell. I am having a really good appetite at the moment. That means shopping more than I like, but eating is so good. Especially my favorite snack at the moment, cheese split muffins toasted with gherkins and cheese on top. YUM. 🙂
Stay Awesome.
Positively, T Neil van Rooyen.
An interesting read Neil! Glad you are at least taking something for the sore arm, I know you want to avoid extra meds, but sometimes you just have to try and ease the pain a bit. A nagging pain is not nice!
Glad your appetite is still good, feed that body good nourishing food to help it fight all the drugs and stuff!

Thanks Neil for the update, so well written as usual. enjoy your split cheese muffin with gherkins ….I didn’t realise gherkin had an h in it. You taught me something new 🙂
So glad to hear you are feeling better now. Keep feeding your body good food and get lots of rest, its the best medicine. If you need pain meds take them there’s nothing worse than a nagging pain. Look after yourself and look forward to reading your next update love xx
