Shat, thanks for the update. I think your strategy of anticipating monthy treatments is a good one. Also sounds like it will save you money in not having to replace smashed household goods! Wow WBC 1.1 - I think my lowest was 0.9.
I finished my treatment 12 months ago. So I am happy to report to you from the other side. You will get through this eventually. It took me nearly 8 months to get through what should have been 6 months of chemo. Thankfully radiation went smoothly. Will you be having radiation?

As I'm a nurse my low counts meant I couldn't work during Chemo. Work could have been a good distraction but I was grateful to be able to cocoon myself on bad days.
I often think about you and hope the white cell fairy visits in time for your next treatment.
