Well, the roller coaster took another plunge unfortunately and I have been in hospital for 2 and a bit days with neutropenia.
Felt shocking with high temp, headache and very sore throat. Oncologist had me on IV antibiotics and has allowed me home with oral antibiotics to continue with so I can recover for next week's chemo.
I felt extremely lucky to be able to stay in the hospital where I have my Chemo. My chemo nurse came and put the cannula in for me and even visited me while having her tea break. It felt much more personnel and helped me to feel 'at home'. I felt safe and very well cared for.
Will have to have the injection to boost my white blood cells after the next 2 chemos. Must say I am now thinking the nausea from FEC was nothing compared to this!
Oh well, on the good side, I will have had my last Chemo this time in 4 weeks. Just have to concentrate on that thought to get me through whatever happens next.
Take care.
